Next Media Programme  in Tivit - an important effort

This endeavour takes advantage of the current transition towards co-creation, interactivity and independency of time and place. The diversity of terminals and devices in consumers’ everyday life is increasing and the significance of mobility is emphasized.

The Next Media research programme of Tivit aims at innovations which by means of new business models, concepts and technology, meet people's insatiable need for engaging and activating media experiences.
 
Next Media has the support of the whole media industry. The companies have together created a strategy for the media sector and the companies are committed to research and development activities consistent with Next Media objectives. The programme is planned to be started at the beginning of the year 2010. The Federation of the Finnish Media Industries has been the initiator of the programme. The programme will be coordinated by Sanoma Entertainment Ltd.
