Mission

The Business & Growth Hub brings together business strategists, innovation leaders and executives who are rethinking how media organizations create value and sustain growth. Originally launched as the Sandbox Hub in 2018 through a European-funded initiative, this network was built to stimulate media innovation through entrepreneurship and collaboration between media companies and startups. 

Members exchange insights on what's driving revenue. What does smart IP ownership look like when your content lives everywhere? How do you structure partnerships that go beyond just pilot projects? The Hub tackles advertising innovations and financing strategies, plus discussions on how emerging technologies can open up new streams of income. Besides that, the Hub is also a point of contact for startups looking to connect with media organizations. The Business & Growth Hub is a community focused on exchanging ideas and practical examples of monetization, strategy, business models and partnerships that create opportunities for both growth and stability.
