MediaTech Hub Conference will take place at Babelsberg Studios – the Hollywood of Europe. Innovation in media technologies has been a tradition here for more than 100 years. And this is where we will be discussing and showcasing the latest MediaTech trends for production, post production and distribution.
Back in 1911, it all started with an old paper flower factory, discovered and transformed into the world’s first large-scale film studio by the film pioneer Guido Seeber. Today, five political systems later, Babelsberg is the leading European centre for filmmaking technology.
More than 4.000 films have been produced in the Babelsberg Studios since the first production of The Dance of Death in 1912; meanwhile that first studio building is easy to miss among the many new film and TV studios and outdoor sets.
Fritz Lang and Marlene Dietrich, Steven Spielberg and Quentin Tarantino, and, most recently, Lana Wachowski and Baran bo Odar have all found a creative home in Babelsberg – and they won't be the last to use this iconic film location.
Apart from its vibrant film scene, Babelsberg has also made a name for itself as the innovation hub for MediaTech. It is home to pioneering LED and virtual production studios, the first German volumetric studio, and state-of-the-art post-production facilities.
Since 2017, Babelsberg has also been the homebase of the MediaTech Hub Potsdam, one of twelve national digital hubs – and the host of #MTHCON.
The MediaTech Hub Potsdam brings together expertise of regional MediaTech specialists and visionaries, researchers, companies, start-ups and universities. Right in the heart of Babelsberg, the MediaTech Hub Potsdam aims to promote innovation and strengthen entrepreneurship.
