Seeds and Growth for Media: empowering young media professionals to build start-ups
Together with MediaNet Flanders and Thomas More, VRT collaborates on a new accelerator project: Seeds and Growth for Media. With this initiative, the public broadcaster wants to help in building and growing new start-ups over the next three years. In the process, their technologies will be tested on the production floor and they will receive support to grow abroad. These collaborations remain essential for media organisations to innovate in an international media landscape.

This is where experts and technology come together.
