This five day intensive program will be held October, 2007 in Toronto.
This national initiative will provide up to ten MICRO and SME television production companies, with a maximum of two senior management representatives per company, with the opportunity to develop their management team through an intensive five-day workshop, based on the successful “incubator model.” The program continues with a six-month mentorship matching industry leaders with Incubator participants.
Canada’s high-potential media entrepreneurs will receive consultation and analysis regarding the following corporate issues:
• key media trends and innovation opportunities (multi-media content, digital specialties; alternative financing);
• corporate finance issues, including taking a media company public, debt financing, partnerships and strategic alliances;
• diversification and growing alternative revenue streams;
• human resources and management issues for entrepreneurs;
• marketing strategies (building a brand in the multi-channel marketplace); and
• playing in the global marketplace—export trends, challenges, and ‘must-haves’ for success on today’s entertainment stage.
Participant Selection:
• Up to 10 participant teams, consisting of up to two representatives from senior management per company, will be selected via a national competitive process, adjudicated by an industry selection committee.
• Limited positions will be offered to MICRO and SME companies in Ontario, British Columbia, Manitoba, Nova Scotia, Yukon, Saskatchewan, and Newfoundland & Labrador. Applications and Guidelines are available below:
