The media world today is facing a very dynamic, challenging and demanding reality – the golden age of the empowered consumer. The consumer today expects to get his media, whatever format it is, at any given moment, at any place he chooses, on whatever device he has available and of course to be able to share the experience. Here are some insights that can give us some idea to the trends and changes that the media world is experiencing. In order to face these challenges the media companies have to be one step ahead and be guided by creativity and innovation to keep ahead of the game.
At the IEICI we have put under the definition of new media 4 sectors: Broadcasting technologies, Internet, Gaming and entertainment technology which refers to the electronics industry targeted and serving the entertainment industry What is important to note is that these sectors of course intertwine between themselves – internet companies who have offering to the broadcasting industry or entertainment technologies which enable new user experience in gaming. Moreover – in todays evolving media world – every media player is interested in a whole range of solutions – and not only limited to his core offering.
The new media industry is a challenging sector to estimate its export – in an age where the business model does not go through any port and most of the time nothing physical is exchanged – it demands a new perspective on the word export and how to measure it. From an estimate we did a few years ago we reached the modest number of 2 B US$ - we believe this nu,ber has increased and we are conducting at this time a specially ordered survey in order to reach an exact numver. 25 new internet companies have been established from the beginning of 2011
Internet has redefined our lives. Internet is a small word which holds in it an entire universe – both in the technologies offered and the targeted markets for it. The internet - which is the heart of the new media industry – both in numbers and in spirit. More than anything the new media sector in israel is one of enterpernuiship And the internet is a realm where ideas can be brought to life quite quickly and their uniqueness is crucial in order to stand out There isn’t a corner of the internet where you can’t find israeli companies and moreover leading it.
Israel has leading world players in regards to broadcasting technologies – with names such as Harmonic, NDS or Pilat media which are world wide leaders in their own fields. Specifically israel has been dominnent in presenting solutions to the cable and IPTV industries. Today Israel is also presenting innovative solutions in personal and interactive tv Including solutions for content discovery and social tv viewing.
The Gaming world is a dynamic sphere of its own – and new players are getting involved in it understanding its potential. In this area as with the previous ones israel offers innvoative platforms on the cutting edge of the current trends such as socail gaming, taking mobile gaming to the next level or making the most of the motion detection technology. Israel also offers technology platforms and services in the area of advertising or monetization of gaming platforms.
When we say entertainment technology we are referring to the companies in the fabless semiconductor business who enable new interface platforms or advanced home netwroking solutuions. In addition there are also companies offering new add ons and remotes which offer a new entertainment experience.
