Eligible verticals
Data/AI/ML/Synthetic Media
It is all about ME and not about YOU. Put the viewer/spectator/consumer/data scientist/analyst/marketer/decision-maker in the driver’s seat and the tools to serve them the best way we can.
Monetization / Platforms/Marketplaces
Great content comes at a cost. Preserving our European cultural identity means finding new business models and platform, ensuring money lands in the right pockets, through new and novel marketplaces.
Creation & Distribution / Marketing
Content is king but creating an immersive, interactive user experience is critical. Help us to (pre) generate, process, distribute content anywhere and anytime. Content that sticks omnichannel is the name of the game.
Archiving & Storage
The future is bright, the past even better. Help us to discover little treasures in our content archive and share them with the rest of the world.
Moonshots
Surprise us with your vision or ideas and, if you shoot for a star, aim at the moon. STADIEM aims to stimulate and shape the application of emerging technologies – including artificial intelligence, 5G, the cloud, the Internet of Things, virtual/augmented reality, wearables, and data analytics, which foster the development of Next Generation Media solutions - European media/content moonshots. If you feel that your solution sets out to revolutionize media or content or utilizes this in a Moonshot capacity, you are eligible to apply as well.
Journalism 4.0 + Content Creation
Our reputation is at stake. Fighting against fake news should be part of everyone's DNA. Help us to 'train', detect, predict, report… disinformation!
Verification / Validation / Tokenization
From zero to hero. Empower creators to bring content at lightning speed, empower the consumer, client or process to validate the quality.
