TEMS - Trusted European Media Data Space - is a joint undertaking of 43 organisations representing hundreds of stakeholders in cultural and creative sectors from 14 countries, with the aim of conceiving and implementing a common media data space across Europe.
Media City Bergen will be involved in the innovation and new media aspects of the TEMS project in the three years going forward. Working closely together with partners such as VRT, France Television, and EBU.
– We are excited to be a part of this ambitious and very important project. To collaborate with so many great companies and institutions is very rewarding and will be a valuable source of great insights, says Helge O. Svela, the CEO of Media City Bergen.
The initiative is supported by the European Commission’s Digital Europe Programme (DIGITAL) and is a core element in the implementation of the European Data Strategy. With an investment of EUR 16.5 million, the consortium represents a milestone in the way the media sector will be able to share and extract value from data. By doing so, TEMS aims to support the economic development and future growth of local and regional media ecosystems across Europe.
Concretely, TEMS will lead the way for the large-scale deployment of cutting-edge services, infrastructures, and platforms. It will also address fighting misinformation, audience analysis, improving data flows in production chains, and supporting the adoption of AI and Virtual Reality technologies.
TEMS will evolve existing media platforms, embryonic data space infrastructures and provide open access to a common data space for any interested media stakeholder from any media sub-sector. This will help digital transformation and improve the competitiveness of the European media industry.
– Leading the project that will shape the European Media Data Space is way more than just a strategic move. It’s a necessity now that data is the new currency. We want to script the future narrative of innovation in the digital age by generating sustainable data-driven businesses today. Oscar Lazaro, CEO, Innovalia.
– […] building these data spaces could make businesses feel much more confident that they could use data to develop their business and to develop their business models to rely much more on the digital economy. Margrethe Vestager, Executive Vice-President of the European Commission in an interview to Euronews.
– EBU is actively supporting our members in their digital transformation. said Antonio Arcidiacono, EBU Director of Technology & Innovation. We are convinced a media data space will ease the development and adoption of data-driven technologies such as AI and foster innovation and collaboration along an increasingly complex value chain. It is an important element for our ability to face competition from dominating US platforms, fulfill our obligations in the fields of public information, entertainment, and education, and do so in full respect of European rules and values.
The official opening event of TEMS will take place at Euskal Irrati Telebista-EITB in Bilbao on 24 October 2023. The event will feature a presentation of the TEMS project and talks from Innovalia, France Télévisions, the European Commission, AFP and EITB amongst others. Interested in attending?
