4. Singapore Hour will be held on 21 and 22 October, 3.00pm to 5.00pm, CET at the Singapore Pavilion. During this event, Singapore's delegation will be making key deal announcements and providing industry updates, followed by an open session where attendees can network. Some exciting showcases include new IPs such as MediaCorp’s “Emerald Hill”, a spinoff of the highly popular “Little Nyonya”. There will also be companies such as Bomanbridge signing MOUs for co-production and distribution deals. Additionally, studios such as August Media and iinfinitty Media will be making co-production announcements. Interested buyers, commissioners, producers and agents are invited to visit the Singapore Pavilion located at Palais -1, P1.H51 to meet with Singapore’s media companies.

From the slate of content that will be presented at MIPCOM, we see Singaporean companies redefining content distribution and by leveraging digital platforms, we are taking our stories to the global audience. We welcome potential partners and collaborators who are looking for Asian content to collaborate with our Singapore talent and companies,” said Ms Yvonne Tang, Cluster Director for Media Industry Cluster at IMDA.
