Medianet Flanders, VRT Sandbox, Thomas More and the international network Future Media Hubs are joining forces for "Seeds and Growth for Media," an accelerator that helps establish new media start-ups. This involves building and testing the technologies of new start-ups on the production floor and supporting them to grow abroad. In addition, Seeds and Growth for Media also aims to inspire young media professionals to innovate together in the media sector.

Over the next three years, Seeds and Growth for Media aims to help establish 18 start-ups annually and bring young talent to the media sector. For this purpose, we work closely with several colleges, universities and other accelerators such as imec.istart, Start it@KBC and the Flanders Game Hub. In addition, the entire Flemish Media Sector is involved: DPG Media, Telenet, Roularta, Mediahuis ... here too, new startups or young production houses will be able to test their new technology or formats. This involvement of all Flemish players, makes it possible for young media professionals to respond directly to the needs of the sector.

On the other hand, technologies from other sectors, such as those of marketing and games, can be used even faster in media creation. Seeds & Growth For Media, the new acceleration operation for media, thus promises to become an incubator for creativity, entrepreneurship and breakthrough ideas. The project is part of the relaunch plan
