Time has come for 12 selected scale-ups from STADIEM’s Open Call 2 to enter the third phase of the project’s acceleration programme, continuing their quest within the European media sector to address topics and challenges such as monetization, accessibility and disinformation. In the Integrate phase, the scale-ups will validate the technical and economic viability of their innovation on the production floor, getting ready to work on a public pilot with corporate partners from May 2023.
The selected solutions cross several fields in the media sector, from Data/AI/ML/Synthetic Media (Dcipher Analytics, Limecraft, Scriptix, einbliq.io, Media Distillery), Content creation & distribution (BotTalk, Rumble Studio, IZI RECORD, Television.AI), Monetization (Druid Learning, Levellr) and Content verification and against disinformation (Textgain).
A glimpse into the scale-ups and corporate partners' team-ups
Together with Mediahuis NV – one of the largest publishers in the Benelux - Textgain will be working on implementing new features into their RHETHORIC tool - a joint product created with Wieni and Tree company and an AI-powered, innovative commenting pipeline - which allows publishers to have a moderated, safe space on their own platform where readers can engage with their content, also offering reporting functionalities for journalists on such content.
Collaborating with partners such as VRT and Roularta Media Group, BotTalk aims to create text-to-speech custom voices in local languages and dialects for a new level of accessibility, focusing specifically on information media outlets.
Bringing broadcast analytics to the next level, einbliq.io will team up with media partners like RBB to reach a deeper, real-time understanding of their audiences, to generate actionable insights for TV programme scheduling optimisation and better integration of linear and on-demand services
The Integrate phase within the STADIEM programme
This is the second to last step of a journey started in spring 2022 by STADIEM’s second cohort of 40 among the most prominent start-ups and scale-ups in Europe, engaged in the Second Open Call of its acceleration programme, to co-create solutions addressing current challenges of the media ecosystem. After finding and consolidating the perfect match with a corporate media partner, the selected scale-ups now jump to the next level in the co-creation path with them.
