EAVE SLATE
WEMW 2027 will organise the new edition of the EAVE Slate. This innovative programme, run in close partnership with EAVE, will select up to 8 European companies that are developing a slate of A/V works and will offer them consultancies on how to build a successful company slate and strategic company planning, together with business-to-business exchanges with key players from different industry sectors.
The programme combines the EAVE group work method with a series of plenary sessions and individual consultancies focusing on strategic company planning, potential risk evaluation and company diversification. The main goal is to define realistic short-, mid- and long-term strategies for their companies and how to pick the right projects to include in their company slates.
ELIGIBILITY CRITERIA

- Companies must have at least 5 years of existence
- Companies must have produced and released at least 3 feature length films (any genre including documentary)
