Four startups are developing innovative solutions for the film industry at the IDA Hub Film and Multimedia Accelerator
Four ambitious startups have kicked off their journey in the Tehnopol Startup Incubator’s Film and Multimedia Accelerator IDA Hub. This marks the beginning of the program’s third cohort.
The Film and Multimedia Accelerator focuses on multimedia, virtual and augmented reality, and related fields, supporting startups that are innovating in these areas. Participants are guided by top-tier mentors who provide direct access to key figures in the film industry, the market, and investors. This creates a unique opportunity to develop products or services in a sector where innovation and creativity meet high technology.
The program kicked off on April 7 in Jõhvi with a workshop “Business Model and Team,” led by software product engineer Kaspar Kallas, who also brings extensive knowledge in film production, editing, and AI.
The teams participating in this year’s program are:
e-Axiom – Developing an AI-powered interactive multi-platform that generates real-time stories, animations, and dialogues based on viewer input. Instead of passively watching, children can influence how the story unfolds.’
Creative Industry Hub – A team from the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival (PÖFF) working on two AI-based solutions: SUSI AI, which offers personalized recommendations and event navigation for festival visitors and professionals; and Creative Gate, a platform that helps Estonian creative industries find international partners and increase exports.
Scenest – Creating a platform to help directors, location managers, and producers quickly and visually find the perfect filming locations. Scenest won the Film and Multimedia Accelerator TECH Bootcamp in February and you can read more about their story here.
Smartisan – Developing a physical and digital modular studio solution that speeds up studio construction for films and commercials, improves quality, enables precise 3D previsualization, and supports reuse and flexibility in the production process.
