In the month of September, VRT again launched the STIP IT campaign. For more than 10 years, this campaign has been calling on people to stand up against bullying, using four dots on your hand as a powerful symbol.

VRT is not only an innovator in how it operates, but also on your TV screen, smartphone, tablet, computer and radio, where you’ll notice many novelties. Take a look in the future with three examples of production innovation.

Under the name New8, VRT entered into an alliance in 2023 with seven public broadcasters from Germany, the Netherlands and Scandinavia to share new fiction series during a period of three years. The aim? Creating European top fiction, and provide an international stage for local talent. At the same time, this is a necessary strategy to be able to keep making our own fiction. 

The International Broadcasting Convention (IBC) in Amsterdam has grown into one of the most important annual events for the technology, media, and entertainment sectors. VRT was once again present in large numbers this past weekend to gain insights into the latest developments and technologies within the industry. We spoke with VRT colleague Chris Verhoeven, Program Manager Media Facilities New building at Technology & Infrastructure, who shared some trends that caught his attention during IBC 2024. 

As the International Broadcast Conference (IBC) kicks off in Amsterdam, a spotlight shines on NetOn.Live, a Brussels-based startup that is set to revolutionize the world of live broadcasting. The 57th edition of this prestigious event, gathering over 1,250 companies, will showcase the latest advancements in broadcast technology. With participants from 170 countries, including about thirty Belgian companies, the conference is a key opportunity for networking and deal-making. Among the attendees is the Belgian start-up NetOn.Live that stands out for its potential to transform live production workflows.
