Go Digital: How to Put European Works in the Spotlight

The European Commission is committed to enhancing the competitiveness, innovation and visibility of European audiovisual works. The aim of the Commission’s Digital Single Market Strategy is therefore to improve access to European digital and audiovisual content. This is reflected in the Infoday programme: we are looking for new ways of circulating and promoting European works, and of reaching out to a wider audience. In speeches and two panel discussions, we shall review the challenges and opportunities for business models and technology, as well as new ways to support attractive services, to promote European works and to accelerate user- and AV-industry-friendly solutions. We shall also discuss the technological tools, innovations and cultural shifts needed to increase the audience’s engagement with European works.
