Supply Chains

With the global media industry finalizing budgets and commissioning strategies for 2026, October is the pivot point.

This session cuts through the noise to analyze the key shifts from Q3, focusing on the industry’s sustained pivot to profitability. We’ll dive into how AI is moving from a buzzword to a workflow reality, the strategic role of FAST and short-form content, and where major players are making critical, high-ROI investments in the final quarter of the year.

This is your essential, data-backed briefing on:

• The final major commissioning signals of 2025.
• How cost-efficiency (AI, virtual production) is reshaping what gets greenlit.
• The rise of FAST (Free Ad-Supported Streaming TV) as a strategic content buyer.
• Which international studios and co-production partners are winning the largest volumes.

With Vitrina’s live tracking of every in-development and in-production project worldwide, we’ll surface the data-backed insights that reveal who’s scaling up and where opportunities are shifting.
