More than 80 companies representing distributors, buyers and producers from 30 countries have confirmed their presence at the inaugural Mip London content market.
Mip London will be held 23-27 February 2025 at the Savoy Hotel and IET London conference centre in London’s West-End.
Among the 80 plus companies confirmed for the market are Armoza Formats, Beta Film, FilmRise, Fox Entertainment Global, Global Agency and PBS Distribution. Companies sending buyers include Al Jazeera, AMC Networks International, Canal Plus, CBC/Radio Canada, France Televisions, ITV, M6, MBC, National Geographic, Netflix, Nine Network Australia, NRK, ORF, RTL Hungary, Seven One Entertainment Group, Sky, Telefonica, TF1, Thai Public Broadcasting Service, The Walt Disney Company, TV3 Group Baltics and ZDF amongst others.
The launch of Mip London follows the recent demise of long-running spring international content market MipTV, which was held in Cannes.
MIP London is produced by the team behind Mipcom Cannes, the major entertainment content market for the international TV industry, which takes place in October.
MIP London aims to attract international content companies and to encourage more business in London during a key week in the global TV industry calendar, coinciding with the London TV Screenings.
The market will include meeting spaces and screening theatres alongside a five-day programme of networking, screenings and genre-specific summits.
“More people coming to London means more business done in what has become the must-attend content week in February,” said Lucy Smith, Director of MIP London and Mipcom Cannes. “Whether you are a company already hosting a screening event, planning to visit for the first time, or simply there to see more people, with this new MIP market our aim is to be complementary to existing events by providing additional opportunities to meet, showcase or discover content across the week.
