Start-up

As part of the FLAME project, VRT worked together with partners as Disney and Martel Innovate to create a smart media infrastructure in order to experiment with new personalised, localised and interactive media applications. The project is now in its end phase and is looking for proposals from SMEs and startups for new media experiences that make use of 5G networks. 

France TV, the Dutch NPO, the Finnish public broadcaster, the British Broadcasting Corporation, the Rádio e Televisão de Portugal. Those are only 5 of the 15 media organisations that joined the Sandbox Hub the past year. The Sandbox Hub initiative was launched early 2018 to support collaboration and knowledge-sharing among European broadcasters and startups.

For a European project, VRT is looking for 50 startups and SMEs to solve a big data challenge. Those interested could receive up to €100K. The project, called EDI, has a €5 million fund to foster the data economy in Europe.

IBC is coming! This year, the annual trade show takes place from the 13th till the 18th of September in Amsterdam. Especially VRT Sandbox will be represented this year with the Sandbox Hub, a network that aims to build a European network for media innovation. Here, you will have an overview of where to find our colleagues.

Brace yourselves, the IBC-conference is coming. VRT Sandbox has already begun writing a wishlist of innovations they want to discover in the RAI. Unique this year is that they are able to add On-Hertz, the startup of VRT intrapreneur Renaud Schoonbroodt to that list.
