IBC has opened the Call for Challenges for its 2027 Accelerator Media Innovation Programme.
The Accelerator pairs media organizations that bring a real production, broadcast or distribution problem (the "Challenges") with technology companies and specialists who team up over several months to build a working proof of concept. The finished projects are presented at IBC2027 in Amsterdam (September 10–13, 2027). Past projects have covered AI in production, virtual production, live and remote workflows, streaming and new ways of reaching audiences.
Deadline for Challenge submissions: Friday, December 11
Who it's for: broadcasters, studios, streamers, production companies and other media organizations with a problem worth solving together
Programme details and how to submit: show.ibc.org/2027-accelerator-innovation-programme
Press release: IBC calls for Challenge submissions
Even if you're not submitting, the Accelerator projects are a good look at where film and broadcast technology is heading. Which challenge would you like to see tackled? Share your ideas below.
