Two worlds collide: startups and media companies working together
The first session of the summit looked at partnerships between startups and media companies, as the news media is increasingly seeking collaborations across disciplines, borders, and between media companies.
âThereâs a tendency to work in silos, and we should try to break this as a tradition in our industry,â said the moderator
Stephen Fozard, Director of the Global Alliance for Media Innovation (GAMI) at WAN-IFRA.
The two speakers described how their organisations bring publishers and startups together.
Lina Timm, the CEO of Media Lab Bayern, said that during the labâs 6-year history it has connected over 50 startups to media businesses for joint projects. Overall, the startups have raised 24 million euros in venture capital, have over 100 clients, and have created over 250 jobs in Bavaria, Germany.
