Innovative ways of funding quality journalism and other media projects are one way to achieve the extra bit needed, as many examples across Europe proof already today. Therefore the Future Media Lab., in cooperation with the European Crowdfunding Network and the European Magazine Media Association, runs a series of highly interactive, inspirational and educative workshops that aim to bring participants up to speed on how to use crowdfunding within their own business context. Crowdfunding is a collective of cooperation, attention, and trust, by people who network and pool their money and other resources together, usually via the internet, in order to support efforts initiated by other people or organizations. It is not easy to introduce new ideas, products and services in today’s media industry: there is always a lack of funds and issues with market acceptance. Crowdfunding can help tackle this problem by enabling media professionals to raise funding and simultaneously receive feedback from the audience on the product features and the demand for it. This practical guide aims to provide an introduction to how crowdfunding works and how it can be applied within Media brands and also the media industry. The Crowdfunding Workshops offered journalists live a close and by the Future Media Lab. offer media representatives WORKSHOPS and journalists the opportunity to gather both practical trustful relationship with knowledge on the innerworkings of crowdfunding as well their audiences.

  • Crowdfunding in Asia
    Crowdfunding in Asia May 2018 Introducing the first free directory of crowdfunding platforms across Asia. The data is based on the AlliedCrowds Capital Finder, a database of over 7,000 alternative finance capital providers across emerging markets. Our data has been used by organizations like FSD Asia, UNDP, World Green Economy Organization, GIZ, World Bank, and others in order to provide unique, actionable insights into the world of emerging market alternative finance. This is the latest of our regular reports on alternative finance in emerging markets; you can find all previous reports here. Crowdfunding rose in prominence in the post-financial crisis years (starting in 2012), and for good reason: a global credit crunch limited the amount of funding available to entrepreneurs and small businesses. Since then, crowdfunding has grown rapidly around the world. Crowdfunding is especially consequential in countries where SMEs find it difficult to raise capital to start or grow their businesses. This is the case in many Asian countries; according to the SME Finance Forum, there is a $2.3 trillion MSME credit gap in East Asia and the Pacific. Crowdfunding can help to fill this gap by offering individuals and small businesses an alternative source of capital. This can come in the form of donation-based as well as lending-based (peer-to-peer or peer-to-business) crowdfunding. In order to help entrepreneurs and small business owners to find the crowdfunding platform that’s right for them, we are releasing the first publicly available list of all crowdfunding platforms across Asia. The report is split into two key sections: the first one is an overview of crowdfunding platforms, and how active they are across the largest markets on the continent.

Regardless of whether we are talking about processes in the back-office, in bank bran‐ ches, online or mobile banking - we expect immediate service, personalised and conve‐ nient. Customers using banking services are no longer interested as much in traditional products, such as a mortgage or cash loan, but in the entire ecosystem of additional services. They deal with official matters or manage their company through banks. It is thanks to technology and cooperation with partners, including startups, that we are building an ecosystem of modern services that goes far beyond traditional banking. Before the coronavirus pandemic forced millions to stay home, digitisation in the ban‐ king sector was being analysed for the risks it poses - such as the possible lack of availability of services related to overloading IT systems, or how to deal with the digital exclusion of certain groups. Today, in the face of the challenges posed to us by the situation in our country and around the world, digitisation has been taken to the next step and will develop at an even faster speed for many businesses.
