OUR MISSION
The EMF is the main European association promoting the competitiveness of the converging ICT & digital media industries in the global market place (defined as "information sector" by the OECD). Its main objectives are to facilitate contacts and knowledge exchange, provide an international support network and encourage the expansion of European enterprises by enhancing their international visibility and their access to funding.
ACCESS NEW MARKETS & SOURCES OF FUNDING

The E-Accelerator is the one-stop-shop service platform for ICT & digital media companies seeking to expand internationally. The Accelerator offers preferential services to mature companies exploring new markets. It currently operates through four hubs in Brussels, Vienna, San Francisco and Bangalore and is supported by an extensive network of advisors and industry associations. The E-Facilitator provides first-hand information on sources of public funding and support services for international project development.

GAIN VISIBILITY

The European Seal of E-Excellence rewards ICT & digital media companies with an excellent track record in innovation marketing. The European Seal of E-Excellence is bestowed annually by European Multimedia Associations members of the EMF with the support of the E-Accelerator. A jury composed of representatives of Seal co-organisers selects the winners on the basis of an open application process. Winners are honoured at an Award Ceremony organised at the occasion of CeBIT.
