China will have its national pavilion with multiple companies, and other partners and attendees from the region include Japan’s Fuji Television, Nippon TV, NHK, Toei Animation, TBS, TV Asahi, and TV Tokyo; ACTF, ABC Commercial, Foxtel, Inverleigh, Nine Network, Paramount ANZ, Seven Network and SBS from Australia; One Life Studios and Zee Entertainment from India; The Philippines’ GMA Network; Lightning International from Hong Kong SAR; and in addition to the Korea Creative Contents Agency (KOCCA) Pavilion, also DAEHAN MEDIAWORLD, FormatEast KBS Media and SBS Media from South Korea.
Speakers and showcases from the region will also include a focus on unscripted format IP emerging from South Korea and Japan during the MIPFORMATS program, as well as the staging of special screenings of Korean scripted series within MIPDRAMA.
These are complemented by the launch of new initiatives including the Fast & Global Summit, focused on the international growth of FAST channels and the MIPDOC International Buyer Screening Showcase, staged on the eve of the market as part of a ‘Super Sunday’ of pre-market events (all accessible with one pass).
