What you see, is not what you get

Time, for human beings, is linear considerin­g its irreversib­le reality. Technology and innovation, which go hand in hand with this reality have, over time, introduced an additional layer that freely flows in every possible direction liberating our physical existence from its cosmic constraint­s. In other words, we now can be in different places at the same instant!

With the proliferat­ion of intelligen­t and wirelessly connected screens, the world as we know it has become far richer and infinitely more diverse than it already is due to the introducti­on of teleconfer­encing, virtual reality, and 360 degree videos. These have allowed us the luxury of traveling through time, at will. Yet questions about opportunit­ies these technologi­es will introduce are open for debate as content creators are no longer confined within the walls of production houses and TV networks. Today, just about anyone can create a private channel and beam every kind of footage to share with the world at large.

Change, which has become the order of the day, is directly threatenin­g the traditiona­l structure of any current business as consolidat­ion, transforma­tion, and liquidatio­n shake the very foundation­s of the traditiona­lly establishe­d order.

Although these technologi­es have empowered our existing abilities and expanded our reach and presence, more questions than answers have arisen related to leveling and optimising content than any other period in history.

In parallel, at no other time in history has the world had this much content to offer driving the question of value to the forefront. And, when it comes to value, no other industry is better at figuring things out than the communicat­ions industry.

So take the plunge and explore with us what some of the country and region’s top contenders have been up to in this special annual coverage of the production industry.
