Activities that can be funded (scope)

• Markets:
  • Industry events, physical, digital or hybrid, focused on business-to-business exchanges among European audiovisual professionals, facilitating coproductions and sales and showing a structuring effect on the European audiovisual eco-system as well as impact on the promotion and sales of European audiovisual works on global markets. Activities and events should adapt to current market trends and include innovative content (videogames, VR, XR, AI, cross-media), animation or genre audiovisual works.
  • Networks of markets, organised around a thematic basis or geographically, should increase their impact on the audiovisual industry. They can therefore cover e.g. several film markets of a specific region or e.g. several markets focussing on specific types of works (i.e. kids content, documentaries, animation, videogames, AR, VR) or both.
• Networking activities across the whole value chain:
  • These networking activities will contribute to the promotion of European works and consolidation of the audiovisual eco-system across the whole value chain. These networks can propose either:
    • activities related to different existing markets within and outside the countries participating in the MEDIA strand. Such activities will include business-tobusiness promotional activities, including financial support to third parties, aimed at facilitating the distribution of European audiovisual works or exchange of best practices, with a particular focus on innovative technologies and business practices
    • or activities related to the co-creation of series, leading to marketable and competitive European series.
  • Financial support to third parties will be accepted in networking activities across the whole value chain organized by pan European networks, aimed at facilitating the distribution and circulation of European A/V and/or cinematographic works and the networking of European professionals.
