Productionplatform.tv is a brand new online networking tool available to TV companies worldwide, created by Pact with support from the DIT (Department for International Trade). It has been designed to facilitate collaboration between companies, by allowing registered users to pitch ideas to each other, and communicate with each other online. Pitches are the key to this online tool. They describe your business idea, and explain to others what you are looking for in a collaborator. A pitch is not necessarily a specific programme idea; it can be an intention to coproduce or an ambition to collaborate with others from a particular country. It could be an interest in setting up meetings at an upcoming market.
