Media Innovation Hub is a physical space located in the heart of Media Park in Hilversum; the largest media cluster in Europe and houses major leading (inter)national media companies, including NOS, RTL, NEP, EMG, TALPA and ITV besides some leading educational institutes.
Every day, approximately 6,000 people work at the Media Park at more than 100 different media companies. In addition, the museum for Sound & Vision and the television programs that are recorded in the various studios attract thousands of visitors every year.
With Media Innovation Hub we will create an open ecosystem for inspiration and co-creation where we will collaborate with different stakeholders in the market; among them are corporates, SME’s and production companies, technology and knowhow partners, educational and research institutes and government.
Together we explore the added value of immersive content in collaborative projects. We will facilitate innovation in media, entertainment and gaming in a fully furnished environment. We are working towards a place where we train skills, showcase experiences, incubate new startups and facilitate co-working spaces; all here at the Media Park in Hilversum.
