Nina Klein from Frankfurt Book Fair presented New European Media (NEM) activities. NEM is a leading initiative in the Convergence and Social Media domain. Main activities and aims of the NEM were presented to the audience.
2. A bit of History
The NEM Initiative (New European Media Initiative) was established as one of the European
Technology Platform under the Seventh Framework Programme, aiming at fostering the
convergence between consumer electronics, broadcasting and telecoms in order to develop
the emerging business sector of networked and electronic media.
In order to respond to new needs and requirements of the Horizon 2020 programme, the
NEM initiative enlarged its focus towards creative industries and changed its name from
Networked an Electronic Media Initiative to New European Media, dealing with Connected,
Converging and Interactive Media & Creative Industries, driving the future of digital
experience.
