The Centre for Art and Technology of Zaragoza is a next-generation amenity, designed to house and promote
the most innovative enterprising and creative projects within the Milla Digital space.
A powerful facility with a total built-up surface area of more than de 16.000 m 2 that will function simultaneously
as a contemporary culture centre, a showcase for the more avant-garde artistic expressions, a workshop for creators
and technologists, a space for specialised training in new fields that arise from the intersection of art and technology,
a laboratory of ideas for the digital city and an incubator for new content sector enterprises.
A space open to all citizens, to all enterprises, to all creators interested in developing, exploring and sharing new ideas.
A permanent, organised or chance meeting place for creative people: a genuine innovation ecosystem.
CAT is an initiative of Zaragoza City Council, with the support, via the Avanza Plan, of the Spanish Ministry of Industry.
The CAT, bound to be ready in 2012, will be a new type of public amenity that will adapt to the objectives of the Milla Digital project:
an urban space designed to favour innovative and creative activities in the more than 247 acres that the city has recovered in the area
of the high speed train station (Zaragoza Delicias).
To maintain and develop that singular intellectual inspiration, right from the start, the Centre for Art &
Technology was supported by a Scientific Advisory Committee comprised of international specialists in the field of city
planning, design, impact of new technologies and urban sociology: William J. Mitchell, François Bar, Manuel Castells,
Dennis Frenchman, Peter Hall, Pekka Himanen, Michael Joroff, Véronique Kleck, Guido Martinotti and Saskia Sassen.
