IBC will reward young talents in the industry

Entre los siete finalistas encontramos desde innovadores técnicos a artistas creativos. Algunos han añadido perspicacia comercial para dirigir equipos o iniciar negocios, mientras que otros inspiran a quienes los rodean.

La industria de los medios de comunicación, el entretenimiento y la tecnología está cambiando. Las actitudes están cambiando, la próxima generación está consumiendo el contenido de manera diferente a como lo hacía antes y se está creando contenido diverso y emocionante para satisfacer esa demanda en formatos innovadores.

En este marco, IBC ha decidido reconocer a las nuevas generaciones instaurando premio IBC Young Pioneer Award.

This award, which recognizes the brightest and freshest talent in the industry, will be awarded to someone who has made a real impact with their passion, ambition and commitment and is making an outstanding contribution to our industry.

The call sought people under 30 years old who had demonstrably gone beyond their competencies to obtain positive results, either through their own efforts or by motivating a team. Whether creative or technical, a strategist or an engineer, the Young Pioneer will be a leader, demonstrating strong strategic vision and the personal skills to influence others.

Some of the finalists are technical innovators while others are creative artists; some have added business acumen to leading teams or starting businesses, while others inspire those around them. These are the seven finalists.
