Aims and activities of the organisation
Arctur, established in 1992, is an innovation specialist company working to inspire and empower cultural heritage organisations to reinvent themselves and co-create innovative cultural heritage products and services, contributing to a more sustainable and equitable future for the tourism sector in Slovenia.
Arctur has been instrumental in helping Slovenia to achieve its ambitious vision and become the leading European country in the digitally rich experience of immovable cultural heritage. Arctur's Tourism 4.0 has made this possible.
Tourism 4.0 (https://tourism4-0.org/) unlocks the innovation potential in the whole tourism sector by taking key enabling technologies from the Industry 4.0 (IoT, Big data, Blockchain, AI, VR/AR) and makes them accessible to local inhabitants, local authority, tourists, service providers and government to enable a co-creation approach to enriched tourism experience in both the physical and the digital worlds.
Within Tourism 4.0 special attention is given to the field of cultural heritage and designing digitally enriched experiences of cultural heritage, ranging from 3D scanning and modelling, AR/VR/xR, mobile and web apps, holograms, object recognition tables, as well as digital storytelling and digital strategies.
Outside of Tourism 4.0, We are actively involved in many other facets of cultural heritage related ICT, and is collaborating with several leading research and academic organizations from this field. We are equipped and provide services of data acquisition, from 3D scanning and photogrammetry of both movable and immovable items to aerial photogrammetry and multispectral sensing.
Arctur also has wider ICT experience in that they are main Slovenian commercial supplier of HPC (High-Performance Computing) services and solutions. We have own HPC
and Cloud Computing infrastructure to be used as the technological foundation for advanced HPC and Cloud computing solutions and innovative IT services in a distributed, high redundancy environment.

5) Slovenian DICH project - Digital Innovation of Cultural Heritage, where in the last 2 years we digitised +100 units of heritage (museums, churches, cemeteries, etc.). The innovative, unique part of the project was to monetize - use these units and implement them into the creation of 5-star tourist products/experiences. This resulted in the creation of 30+ new unique, high-value tourist products.
Slovenia received the ECTN - Destination of Sustainable Cultural Tourism award 2021 for digital innovation of cultural heritage
