You are welcome to join the Tehnopol Startup Incubator’s Film and Multimedia Accelerator if you want to advance the film industry with technology-driven ideas. The Film and Multimedia Accelerator focuses on the development of multimedia, virtual and augmented reality, storytelling platforms, and other digital solutions that support the film industry and the creative sector. We not only support technology-driven ideas but also connect you with experts in the field, giving direct access to key players in the film industry, the market, and investors. This creates a unique opportunity to develop your product or service in a field where innovation and creativity meet cutting-edge technology.

Our goal is to grow startups that help make the entire industry more innovative and efficient!

Why now?
The film and multimedia industry is rapidly changing today – technology, new business models, and audience behavior are creating entirely new opportunities. This means that fresh ideas and innovations have a bigger impact than ever before.

We are highly motivated to help you succeed because we provide all services with no monthly fees, asking only for a 2% equity option. If you succeed, we succeed together!
