CFO

Who are we ? 

Pastoo is a unique pooling of projects in Belgium, structured around several non-profit organisations and cooperative societies active in the production and organisation of festivals,  shows and cultural projects.

• Cooperatives dedicated to production (in particular via the Tax Shelter) and logistics. 

These entities work closely together to produce large-scale cultural projects, combining artistic standards, public impact and hybrid economic models (subsidies, ticketing, Tax Shelter, partnerships, etc.).  These projects welcome more than 250,000 spectators each year.
