G10 Festival Where Philosophy, Science and Art converge.
A unique opportunity to delve into the minds of the world’s leading thinkers in art, technology, philosophy, and economics. The G10 Festival spans 2.5 days, and you can choose to attend for one day or the entire event.
Founded in 2016, the G10 Festival is one of the largest “think festivals” in Europe. Speakers are selected for their distinctive approach to unconventional thinking. The festival themes are chosen from a non-traditional perspective, following careful discussions with specialists from various fields.
Our 2025 program is currently in development and will be unveiled soon.
