KIEV MEDIA WEEK – is a significant and very up-to-date initiative. On the post-Soviet territories we are lacking platform for networking, experience exchange and cooperation. I think KIEV MEDIA WEEK will take this niche and also will provide an excellent opportunity to get acquainted with Ukrainian television and media business realities, which could be a great surprise for foreign colleagues

Rapid growth of adapted entertaining show formats on the air of national TV channels recently brought Ukraine to the International format market and made it attractive for the major TV content producers. Launch of KIEV MEDIA WEEK, as a platform where the newest and the most popular world TV projects will be presented, shall contribute to this trend. For WeiT Media Ukraine has always been among the core areas with one of the largest in Eastern Europe and CIS markets of national TV production. Now we have an opportunity to represent our own original formats, as well as projects of our strategic partner Endemol to a wide audience of Ukrainian market

KIEV MEDIA WEEK gives the international TV industry a unique opportunity to develop contacts and understanding of the Ukrainian TV-market. Ukraine is especially interesting since international formats have been booming there for the last years. Local TV stations switched into a real race for European, American and Asian TV formats to adapt them for the CIS television. International coproduction is also developing, so that Ukrainian and Russian producers cooperate not only with each other, but look for the partners in Europe and North America, as well as in China and India. So I believe KIEV MEDIA WEEK is essentially a must-visit event for anyone who wants to do television business in CIS

I think it is an excellent idea to have a market in Ukraine and we are looking forward to attending! The formats business for us Ukraine is extremely active and we are so happy to be working with so many channels on our successful formats! KIEV MEDIA WEEK will give us an opportunity to see many of our partners across the CIS region too and we are excited about seeing our regular partners as well as forming some new relationships! The timing of the market, being just before the other international activities of media industry, means that the buyers we see will be the first to hear about the new shows - what a great opportunity for all concerned!

I’m looking forward to participating in KIEV MEDIA WEEK as it will give me an opportunity to give my clients an early preview of our new shows. It will also enable me to find out about all the latest news from the Ukraine

I have been waiting for such an event for a long time. Ukraine is indeed a very special country for cinema, between Russia and the European Union. Therefore, Kiev may become a bridge between these two big cinematographies. Furthermore, the Ukrainian film market itself has a great potential due to its population, but also to the long history of cinema which has been shot there for more than one century. Nowadays, the situation is more difficult than it had been, but I witness the changes which occurred these few past years and am really happy that this Media Week takes place now! It is urgent for the region to learn more about cinema in Ukraine, and for Ukrainian cinema business to learn more about the experiences of other countries

I think, that the idea of KIEV MEDIA WEEK is really very important and up-to-date. Regional media business community crucially needs new ways of cooperation. And I believe Kiev has all the potential to become that very platform, which will bring together post-Soviet territories. KIEV MEDIA WEEK could cause new impulse for business development and improve the atmosphere of professional business community

Personally, I believe that the value of Kiev Media Week is so profound because the event distinguishes itself from all other International summits. Kiev Media Week is less about the securing of business deals and more concerned with providing its participants with a "passport of knowledge". In this ever changing, ever growing industry, it is incumbent upon all media professionals, both creative and technical, to share and exchange ideas and Kiev Media Week provides that very forum

I am extremely impressed with the idea of organizing and conducting KIEV MEDIA WEEK. This initiative, to create a media forum, in fact, is a common platform for communication and exchange of experience for experts of media and film industry from various countries, is useful primarily for the Ukrainian professional community. It will finally allow to look around and feel the main global trends. It is no secret that the film industry is dictated by the standards of English-speaking world: that watching the United States, wondering around the world. In the West, Film and TV - is a powerful industry with proven technology and experience in production and promotion of media content. There is much to learn and, most importantly, we have to learn if we seriously want to talk about the film business in Ukraine

I believe KIEV MEDIA WEEK provides great opportunity to evaluate the real situation in Ukrainian film and media industry, as well as to represent our potential to foreign partners. In context of the industry development – Ukraine is considered to be very promising country, and KIEV MEDIA WEEK is that particular forum that will move Ukrainian producers to a new level of international cooperation

Eastern Europe television industry in one of the most promising and fast growing markets, and that's why this region appears to be one of the top-priority business directions for Fremantle Media. We are interested in active cooperation with the channels, broadcasters, large prodcos in Ukraine, Russia, Belarus, Kazakhstan and other Central and Eastern European countries. KIEV MEDIA WEEK gives us the opportunity to network with them at one time and in one place. This is a good chance to enhance cooperation and mutually beneficial contracts. That’s why we are ready to introduce at KIEV MEDIA WEEK several completely new formats and specialties ahead of MIPCOM 2011

We are grateful to Media Resources Management for their initiative – the media industry has been in instant need of such a pull of events for a long time. We are glad that the conference Television as Business will be held in course of KIEV MEDIA WEEK. It gives us opportunity to extend our audience and to discuss industrial problems that are burning for Ukrainian industry as well as for international media community

STB has been the first TV-channel in Ukraine that has produced and aired top international format talent-show locally what  became a new landmark for national television.  We, as well as other TV-channels, are looking toward to move national industry to a new level, and for sure KIEV MEDIA WEEK will open new opportunities for Ukrainian media business.
