DAO CreaTech™: Web3 platform for community-owned cultural events and funding in Coventry Intercultural Roots CIO is launching DAO CreaTech™, an ethical Web3 platform empowering communities to shape and share in cultural events. The project unlocks new pathways for co-ownership, investment and local creative growth in Coventry. By: Intercultural Roots COVENTRY, U.K. - Nov. 5, 2025 - PRLog -- Intercultural Roots for Public Health CIO (IRPH), in partnership with tech and arts platform EAST2046 CIC, today announced the launch of DAO CreaTech™, a groundbreaking initiative to prototype a Web3-enabled platform that empowers local communities, artists, and organisations to co-create and co-own cultural events.Funded by DCMS and Innovate UK, DAO CreaTech™ introduces a transparent, non-extractive model for cultural production. By blending cutting-edge decentralised technology with grassroots arts and health initiatives, the platform aims to strengthen local creative economies and foster equitable participation in cultural life.Reimagining Community Event FundingDAO CreaTech™; short for Decentralised Autonomous Organisation for Creative Technologies; will launch a Minimum Viable Product (MVP) platform that allows communities, artists, and venues to jointly organise, co-produce, crowdfund, and manage place-based cultural events. The pilot project in Coventry will culminate in a week-long festival of cultural and artistic events at the end of February 2026.Using blockchain and NFT technologies, the platform represents fractional ownership of events, ensuring that economic value flows directly to the local ecosystem and the participants who co-create the experiences. This approach promotes democratic decision-making, financial transparency, and fair distribution of resources.Dr Yixi (Lois) Liao, of EAST2046 CIC, said: "Our goal is simple: to use Web3 tools to promote in-person communication and local connections, not replace them. By repurposing open-source technology for local needs, we prioritise community wellbeing, regenerative economics, and ethical digital participation."Dr Alex Boyd, Founder and CEO of Intercultural Roots and project manager for DAO CreaTech™, added: "This platform allows local residents and community groups to come together as members to organise and fund events collaboratively. The Coventry pilot will demonstrate how Web3 can enable vibrant, community-led cultural life, while ensuring local artists and participants benefit directly."Building on a Decade of Arts and Tech InnovationDAO CreaTech™ is the next evolution of Intercultural Roots's decade-long commitment to combining arts- place-based practice with an ethical use of technology.
