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.
