AI Dominated Every Conversation at the 5th Zinemaldia & Technology Startup Challenge, Where Sonic Alchemist, Dubme Took Top Prizes


All 10 participants at this year's startup challenge use AI, and many now include independent digital-native content creators in their business plans.

A special mention entrepreneur prize of €3,000 ($3,350) was awarded to Danish company Kaspar K1, an editing program that allows filmmakers to search through thousands of hours of footage using text prompts. Nearly half of the day’s pitches were designed not only for large media companies but included B2C business plans for solo digital-first content creators such as YouTubers, influencers and independent animators. Phont is a German-developed software that evolves the long-unchanged art of subtitle display by using AI to jazz up on-screen text, similar to how comic book fonts are used to convey emotion on the page.
