On 2 April 2025, the conference entitled “Culture as an impact sector: impact investment, an opportunity for the economy of culture” was held at the Centre Cultural La Nau of the Universitat de València.
Diego Muñoz Higueras participated in the conference, along with other professors from the UV and the Econcult research unit (University of Valencia).
The conference, organised by the Gabeiras Foundation and The Pipe – Impact Investment, had the collaboration of Gabeiras and the support of the Ministry of Culture, through the European Union – Next Generation EU grants and in collaboration with the Research Unit in Economics of Culture (Econcult) of the Universitat de València and the Cultural Observatory of the UV.
The event brought together leading experts in the field of culture to discuss the current financial opportunities and tools in the cultural sector, which do not seem to meet all the needs of its business fabric, and raised the need to update the economic framework of culture and explore new avenues of funding.
