From AI production to immersive media: European innovators to watch at IBC2026 (Ibc)
Summary: EIT Culture & Creativity is bringing more than a dozen ventures from its 100-to-Watch portfolio to IBC2026’s Future Tech Ignite Innovation Village in Hall 14, spanning production, post-production, content discovery, immersive media, and monetisation. Notable participants include Black Goblin, which demonstrated reallocating more than 200 hours from manual setup to creative tasks on a single 90-minute production, and Kami, whose first AI-generated anime is entering theatrical distribution in Turkey. The showcase also features Grabbit R&D’s RePro Stream, which is part of an IBC Accelerator project with the BBC, ITV, SMPTE, Shure, and King’s College London to develop streaming technology for 360° video and immersive audio.
Why it matters: The source states that Kami offers an early indication of how AI-supported production and distribution models could reshape the content landscape, and that Black Goblin illustrates what practical AI deployment can look like inside professional production workflows.
"Through a pilot developed under the BBC-supported MyWorld Creates initiative, the company demonstrated how AI could reallocate more than 200 hours from manual setup into creative tasks and decision-making on a single 90-minute production." — IBC
