Where: Lugano, Switzerland - Grand Hotel Eden*****

Theme: “The Digital Media Value Chain – From R&D to real business”
The industry of production, transportation and fruition of digital contents (sound, video, entertainment, information, education, training, etc.) is now mature to be a promising and profitable business.

• The business model of production and distribution of sounds and images has switched from the “PUSH” model (offer of physical supports, by the Majors of production and distribution) to the “PULL” model (demand of download of billions of web surfers). This evolution is bringing a Copernican revolution of both, the entrepreneurial actors and their strategies.
• In this context, there are very favourable opportunities for creative SMEs, quick and flexible, participating themselves in the creation of the new business models, to then be the first ones to exploit them. The totality of this new Value Chain is also highly interesting for Venture Capital companies and Private Equity funds, looking for a high added value diversification.
