Film and Multimedia Accelerator

We’re here to bridge the gap between tech startups and the film industry, injecting innovation to boost efficiency, sustainability, and creativity.

Join the Film and Multimedia Accelerator if you want to advance technology-based ideas in the the film industry. The Film and Multimedia Accelerator primarily focuses on multimedia, virtual and augmented reality, and related fields, and supports startups focusing on these areas.

What makes our accelerator unique? Unlike other accelerators, our program focuses specifically on the film and multimedia sector. We not only support technology-based ideas but also connect you with experts in the field, giving you direct access to key figures in the film industry, the market, and investors. This creates a unique opportunity to develop your product or service in a field where innovation and creativity are combined with high technology.

We offer the best and highest-quality program in the region, along with expert advice for growing your startup. Ten carefully selected companies are admitted to the 6-month accelerator. Part of the program can also be completed in a hybrid format.

Are you the proud owner of a tech startup, armed with a passionate team and a groundbreaking concept that’s already past the idea stage and into the MVP or prototype phase? If your company is registered in Estonia, you’re in luck, because you’re exactly who we’re looking for!

We’re driven by one goal—YOUR success! We’re offering all our services with zero monthly fees and a mere 2% equity stake. Why? Because when you succeed, we succeed!
