The NEM Summit is an international conference and exhibition, open to co-located events and organised every year since 2008 by Sigma Orionis and Eurescom on behalf of the NEM European Technology Platform for all those interested in Future Internet developments and in the fast paced evolution of the networked electronic media industry. Over the years, the NEM Summit has grown to become an annual not-to-be-missed event, providing attendees with a key opportunity to meet and network with prominent stakeholders, access up-to-date information, discover latest technology and market trends, identify research and business opportunities, and find partners for upcoming EU-funded calls.
The 2012 edition of the NEM Summit, prepared under the supervision of two General co-Chairs, of a Programme Committee, and of an Organizing Committee (see member lists at the bottom of the page), has been successfully held from October 16 to 18 at the Sheraton Ataköy Hotel of Istanbul, Turkey, on the theme “Implementing Future Media Internet towards new horizons”.
It has attracted over 320 delegates and over 20 exhibitors from Europe, Turkey and other regions of the world, and has been supported by over 25 sponsors (see logos below). The conference was structured in plenary and parallel thematic sessions, featuring 40 speakers and authors selected following a competitive call for papers.
Beyond the conference itself, the programme included:
- the European MediaTech Investment Forum organised by Media Deals with the support of the European Commission (DG CONNECT), to connect SMEs and entrepreneurs to European investors,
- a NEMart contest, a recurrent high profile fixture in the NEM Summit programme, inviting applications for real demonstrators/proofs of concept which clearly show the exciting opportunities existing when technology and art/design conjoin.
EU-funded projects and other initiatives had also taken advantage of the 2012 NEM Summit to co-locate parallel workshops: 3DIIM–3D Contournet, Celtic-Plus, Chorus+, FI-Content, GUIDE, and SMARD.

Investment Forum
The 2012 NEM Summit has hosted on October 17, 2012 the first “European MediaTech Investment Forum” an event organised by Media Deals with the support of the European Commission (DG CONNECT), as part of the European Commission’s policy to encourage the transfer of results from research and innovation to the market.
Ten European SMEs and entrepreneurs specialized in Networked Electronic Media developments, and selected on the basis of applications to be submitted a couple of weeks prior to the meeting have presented their business concepts (in 7’ sharp!) to a group of European investors carefully chosen to fit to companies’ and projects profiles and needs for investment.
The event was successful and reached its overall objective to more efficiently engage innovative SMEs with investors from across Europe. In the next weeks and months several of these invited SMEs should report an effective impact (on the next round of funding) of their participation in the event.

| Event report | ||||
In the framework of the NEM Summit 2012, the European Commission organised on October 17th in Istanbul, in partnership with the network Media Deals and NEM, an Investment Forum dedicated to early stage mediatech entrepreneurs. The 10 invited start-ups and entrepreneurs successfully performed a 7 minutes pitch each, to a panel of European early stage private investors, business angels and seed funds. Each pitch was followed by a Q&A session in which the investors provided tailored feedback to entrepreneurs.Baybars Altuntas, President of the Turkish Business Angels Association and Okan Kara, National coordinator, EU Framework Programmes at Tübitak, welcomed the event in Istanbul and pointed out the current dynamism of Turkish R&D and entrepreneurship. Baybars mentioned also the recent implementation of dedicated new tax incentives to foster angel investment in Turkey. During the panel session Paulo Andrez, President of the EBAN – European Business Angel Network, emphasized that angel investment is indeed a key gap financing tool in Europe for young technology entrepreneurs, offering expertise and financing in the start-up phase when the companies cannot access public funds and projects are in a too early stage and thus too risky for Venture Capital funds. The Investment Forum has been indeed the occasion for participating entrepreneurs to improve the way they approach private investors and to personally meet up with angel investors focused on their business sector. This has also been the occasion for participants of FP7 projects and other innovation projects to promote the commercial viability of their offerings and devise a GoToMarket strategy that addresses Competitor offerings, and Market Timing. The Investment Forum had been thought as a pilot initiative by the DG Connect of the European Commission with the objective to foster early stage investment in European media and technology start-ups. “As a result of this experience, Viorel Peca -Head of Unit in DG CONNECT- emphasised that the European Commission intends to encourage commercialisation and introduce schemes that accelerates the market readiness at a very early stage within innovation projects and thereby increase the efficiency of European investments in research and innovation”. The main criteria for project selection were mediatech sector relevance, scalable business model, European/International focus, a strong entrepreneurial and leadership spirit and previous interest won for the project (e.g. prize, investment, subsidies). The following 10 companies were thus selected on the basis of sector, development stage and quality of proposed products/services: – Netmera (Turkey, Istanbul) back-end services for mobile applications Both entrepreneurs and investors found the event’s personalized approach to the industry extremely valuable, as they developed meaningful relationships and benefited from a wide range of investment and industrial partnership opportunities. Investors at the event also took this opportunity to exploring possible mutual interests and to comparing investment methods. The benefits are well summarised by Jose Romano, head of Turkey and Istanbul Venture Capital Initiative at European Investment Fund who said “This event was very well organised and thought of, bringing together investors, entrepreneurs and policy makers; the latter are the key and they need to be supported in order to ensure continuity and accountability”. |
NEMart
The first “NEMart contest” was organised in 2010, on the occasion of the 2010 NEM Summit held in Barcelona, in order to foster innovation in the Networked Electronic Media area, through a stronger involvement of the Art community, inviting applications for real demonstrators/proof of concepts which clearly show the exciting opportunities which exist when technology and art/design conjoin: interactive entertainment experiences, new design-led applications for social well-being, novel ways of telling stories using digital media, etc.
In 2010, the NEMart awards have been granted to 5 candidates:
- THIG presenting “GreenNEM non anthropocentric social network”
- The Cut-up team presenting “Enthusiastic artist-scientist collaboration”
- mHashup presenting “Uniting civilizations through NEM”
- LIVECELL presenting “An interactive and convincing experience”
- Cinzia Vigna presenting The Art Lab Progetto Retica
In 2011, at the NEM Summit held in Turin, the winner was “Isabella – The Secret Recipes” designed and developed by Virva Emilia Auvinen who works at Nokia as a Visual and UX Designer, and created the entire project in her spare time.
The 2012 NEM Art Contest has firmly established the NEMart as a high profile fixture in the NEM Summit programme. The contest was launched (see the NEMart flyer) under the aegis of a NEMart Jury including:
- Asst. Prof. Ovgu Ozturk Ergun – Intelligent Multimedia Analysis Laboratory, Istanbul
- Elçin Mol – Turk Telekom
- Jovanka Adzic – Telecom Italia
- Jean-Dominique Meunier – Technicolor
- Roger Torrenti – Sigma Orionis
- Pierre-Yves Danet – Orange Labs
- Mevlut Dinc – Sobee
- Rowena Goldman – BBC
- Virva Emilia Auvinen – Nokia, Berlin
- Mehmet Turgut – Photographer, Turkey
Selected applications have been showcased in the exhibition area of the Summit. During the closing session, Rowena Goldman, announced that the NEMart Jury had decided to grant the 2012 award to Michela Magas and Christopher Rea for her Synaesthesia work on “Innovative music components for collaborating and creating music with objects in real space”. She received, in recognition for her work, a piece of art extracted from the Wiki-Art web site, launched on the occasion of the 2012 NEM Summit, and inviting Internet users from all over the world to take advantage for the collaborative production of artwork.
The Jury has also decided to grant an “encouraging” award to Jeni Maleshkova for her “Graffiti me” work “Emotional attitude presentation through graphical expression”.
