International piloting programme

The STADIEM project, launched in October 2020, is working on a piloting and acceleration programme to bring together start-ups, scale-ups, investors and media organizations and foster new Next Generation Media solutions. To this end, 7 partners from 6 European countries (Belgium, Norway, Estonia, Germany, Ireland and Switzerland) work together to provide the best possible support on the way to growth. The piloting programme lasts 14 months and consists of 4 phases to introduce start-ups and scaleups to an international network and develop, integrate and test media solutions with a media partner. STADIEM has a budget of €3,86M available and each start-up or SME could receive up to €150,000 for their project.

STADIEM’s 4-stage programme

At the same time, STADIEM lets you become part of a mission to tackle today’s most prominent media challenges. From helping discover treasures in a content archive, to empowering journalists to bring news at lightning speed. In addition, STADIEM also invites applicants to submit innovative and surprising visions as “moonshots”.

As a global founder community we love to help startups and find the right opportunities for them.
