France Télévisions is the leading creative partner in France. Its ambition is also to become the leading partner in innovation in order to continue the modernization of the company but also to assert the role and image of France Télévisions in terms of innovation.

On February 8, 2018, the first "Sandbox Hub" workshop hosted by VRT took place. Immersed in the Sandbox of the Vlaamse Radio- en Televisieomroeporganisatie, the BBC, France Télévisions and Swedish Radio worked on Open Innovation and exchanged best practices for collaboration with start-ups.

At a time when the GAFA (Google, Apple and other web giants) are developing ever more sophisticated artificial intelligence tools, it is important for the public service to equip itself with its own resources. Means adapted to the requirements of the information produced every day on its antennas. This is why France Télévisions is launching its first start-up accelerator within the information department by initiating a collaboration with Newsbridge.
