TF1 Media Lab

TF1 MediaLab, our specialist unit focused on the future and innovation, underpins the ongoing transformation of our business as we work together to build the future of our industry. MediaLab’s role is to analyse current changes, but above all to drive them: to learn from innovators, support creative thinkers, and always push the boundaries. TF1 MediaLab aims to deploy technological solutions and services that chime with new behaviours and coming revolutions in our industry.

Innovation must be a collective endeavour. We are convinced we can accelerate the process by allying our own expertise with the know-how of the next generation of entrepreneurs. To achieve this, in 2015 we launched an open innovation dynamic to plug into the start-up ecosystem. Today, more than forty fledgling enterprises have already been supported by TF1. And the adventure continues via our start-up accelerator program based at Station F in Paris, the world’s largest start-up campus.
