The start-ups focus on content creation & distribution, content verification & against disinformation, archiving, piracy, monetization, audio and video.
STADIEM’s second Open Call for media innovators - closing at the end of last February - attracted over 170 start-ups in the European media sector and from 26 countries (with the UK, Germany, Belgium and The Netherlands in the lead), resulting in 115 applications, which went through an evaluation process narrowing them down to a group of selected 40 solutions to go on to the match-making phase in the project's piloting and acceleration's programme.
The selected start-ups present solutions in line with the Open Call 2 focus areas (ranging from content creation and distribution to archiving, data and content verification against disinformation).
They enter the first step of the envisioned STADIEM 4-stage program (Match > Develop > Integrate > Pilot), which will have a total duration of 14 months and a budget of 1,93M€. The Match phase will bring the selected applicants on a tour of STADIEM’s four Hubs (VRT Sandbox, NMA, MCB and Storytek), with the aim to identify corporate partners to collaborate with - Corporates interested in being part of the STADIEM programme can get in touch with us to jump on board and spark new exciting team-ups!
