MediaMatters has started a new, exciting challenge. We are looking for innovative solutions that can help news agencies streamline or optimize their workflows. This challenge is commissioned by MINDS International, a global network of 24 news agencies.

The news agencies are especially interested in ways to automate specific parts of their news production. For instance technology to automatically add metadata to content, or automated cross platform content productions and distribution.

The 10 best tech companies that apply, get a chance to present their solutions at the MINDS Conference, April 24 in Helsinki. They will be able to talk to senior executives from the 24 news agencies present. Besides this unique business opportunity, there will also be a extra prize for the winner. This company will get access to the next MINDS Conference in Brussels in the fall of 2020, a sponsor package worth € 5.000.

You can find more info on the Challenge and apply on this page.
