On September 28, the second day of the conference, ten finalists will present their ideas to an audience of over 600 decision-makers. The best presentation will be awarded prize money of 10,000 euros. All participants also have the chance to receive funding of up to one million euros from Raw Ventures and other investors. The investment amount depends on the market, the business model and the stage of development of the winning startup.

The aim is to promote the start-ups and their potential - regardless of their stage of development, whether still in the early stages or with a market-ready product

The Global MediaTech Pitch Day offers startups a platform to accelerate their business growth and gain access to a large network of investors, potential partners and customers. Interested startups can apply if they are working on optimizing production and distribution processes of different content types or developing solutions in marketing, TV, cinema, streaming, advertising, podcasts and music. Organizations that facilitate the integration of different technologies into media processes are also invited to participate. Applications are open until August 8, 2023 and can be submitted directly via the Global MediaTech Pitch Day homepage.

Media and media technology are omnipresent today and are no longer limited to traditional media such as TV or cinema. I'm talking about Metaverse, platforms like TikTok and Instagram, Web3.0 technologies and, of course, AI
