Innovation is essential to ensure the sustainability and development of Europe’s media and creative industries in an increasingly global and competitive market place.

Come and discuss the future media research and innovation projects and policy priorities for 2021-2027.
Experience the exciting on-site demos and listen to experts and professionals analyse influencing trends in the media space.
For the last two years, MediaRoad, a Horizon 2020 funded project, has been supporting the transformation of the European media sector by building an ecosystem for innovation and strengthening collaboration between researchers, content creators, broadcasters and start-ups.
The European Broadcasting Union, one of the MediaRoad shareholders, has been driving media innovation with and on behalf of its member organizations for nearly 70 years. The EBU Technology & Innovation department (T&I) fosters and coordinates the development, standardization and adoption of key innovations that benefit public service media, the European media sector and its audiences. T&I will present key developments and unveil new ones.
The event is free of charge
The EBU has 119 member organizations in 56 countries in Europe and an additional 33 Associates in Asia, Africa, Australasia and the Americas, which operate nearly 2,000 television and radio channels alongside numerous online platforms.
