The first round of the MediaMatters program in 2017 has attracted great international interest from startups. We have selected 15 startups from 8 countries that are all very eager to present themselves to the participating media companies during our MatchMaking Days. The startups are from The Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, France, Switzerland, Poland, Finland and Israel.

These companies cover a wide range of technologies that are relevant to the media industry. We have selected startups that offer solutions for smart analytics and data analysis, content management, payment, automated content production, video platforms and engagement tools.

In total 60 international startups applied for MediaMatters Round 1 2017 and we have scouted more than 300 for our database of media related startups and scale-ups.

The MatchMaking Days will be held in the Media Park in Hilversum from May 22 till May 24. On the last day our startups will give their final pitch. After that, we will announce the matches with the media companies. The event is by invitation only. Send a mail to if you want to know more.
