Digital media companies based in the North West, North East, East Midlands and Yorkshire are being invited to pitch ideas in response to a series of new briefs from BBC commissioners.
Ten companies will be selected to attend a weeklong residential Innovation Lab, where they will work with the BBC and other industry experts to develop their ideas into prototypes. The Labs will conclude with an opportunity to pitch the developed ideas to BBC commissioners, who will offer commissions to the best ideas at each Lab.
The process will kick off with a series of 4 launch events across the north of England, one in each of the 4 partner regions. Attending companies will learn more about this years briefs, the BBC's new media strategy and technological infrastructure and have an opportunity to meet BBC commissioners and ask questions about the kind of projects they are looking for.
The events will run from 12 till 5.30pm on the following
dates and venues:
