The Global Media Forum is Deutsche Welle’s global platform where international partners can connect and strengthen relations with representatives from the fields of journalism, digital media, politics, culture, business, development, academia and civil society. The focus theme of this year’s edition is “Global Inequalities”.

Vor Ort NRW and Media Lab Bayern help promising entrepreneurs developing new tools and business models in their media incubator programs. At the Global Media Forum 2018, we invite startups from any country to take the chance and enter our stage at Rocking Journalism: Startups and Talents in Media Innovation. In this session at the Media Innovation Lab Day, digital startups showcase their talent and technology in media and journalism.

Deutsche Welle’s Global Media Forum is the only international media conference that brings together decision-makers and influencers from the worlds of journalism, digital media, politics, business, civil society and academia. The 2018 GMF offers a unique interdisciplinary approach to tackling one of the defining challenges of our time: global inequalities. There are inequalities everywhere – some highly visible, others obscure and insidious. From institutionalized racism to income inequality, the digital divide and power imbalances – inequalities are deeply rooted and complex. Are the media up to the task of understanding the dimensions and effects of inequalities? How can technology be both a galvanizer and an equalizer? What is the potential of technology in providing equal access to knowledge and power?
