Creating Partnerships Between Media Companies and Startups

An exciting new addition to IBC this year, the Startup Forum will connect investors and media houses seeking high quality, innovative solutions with the startups and scaleups who create them.

Working in association with Media Honeypot we will find the best startups and growth companies, facilitate meetings in our Deal Room and present a top quality seminar programme that will inspire and inform.

The startup event will happen on Sunday 17 September at IBC2017.
