MediaFutures

Data-Driven Innovation Hub for theMedia Value Chain

The public opinion is increasingly formed
online, based on content optimised
for clicks rather than a balanced
point of view and corroborating evidence.
Filter bubbles encourage extreme
positions and challenge trust in
Media. MediaFutures was initiated to
address these challenges, to find unconventional
ways to engage citizens
with quality journalism as well as to
increase media and data-literacy.

MediaFutures will support startups
and artists with up to 80.000€ equity
free funding, mentoring and training.
The final aim is the creation of data
driven products, services and digital
artworks and experiences that will reshape
the media value chain through
innovative, inclusive and participatory
applications of data and user-generated
content.

The next open call is expected
to launch November 2021 accompanied
by dedicated webinars
and clear guidelines for

be an advantage to be already
incorporated as a legal entity.
However the track record of
your team, the innovation and
impact of your proposed project
are more important.
