Goals

MediaNet Flanders, founded in 1994, unites more than 60 companies that are actively engaged with content and innovation in the media. It is the most representative and strongest network of Flanders in the media sector. MediaNet brings companies and governments closer together to tackle the problems and challenges of a rapidly evolving and ICT-driven media market.

Since 2003, MediaNet Flanders is officially recognized by the IWT and the Flemish Innovation Partnership (VIS). The association will have the necessary resources to anticipate even more intense and faster on some very specific and important tasks in the Flemish media event.

In 2007, this recognition was extended as Thematic Innovation Incentive (TIS) project entitled “Media, Society & Market M & Medianet Project. This project aims to assist the media in gathering information about the technological possibilities, social developments and successful media applications in a global perspective. It also will help to apply this knowledge in practice and to internationalize.
