Alongside showcases and pitching sessions, the program will feature one-to-one meetings and targeted networking opportunities aimed at facilitating co-production agreements, investment deals, and international remakes.

KOCCA, under South Korea’s Ministry of Culture, Sports and Tourism, plays a leading role in the internationalization of creative industries, including video games, music, animation, fashion, and audiovisual content. With a global network of 25 offices, KOCCA has recently strengthened its presence in Europe by opening a new office in Spain in 2024 at the Korean Cultural Center in Madrid. This move reflects its strategy to deepen cultural ties and foster business alliances across the region.
The agreement with Iberseries & Platino Industria represents a decisive step in positioning KOCCA as a key driver of international cooperation and consolidates the Madrid-based event as a premier showcase for Ibero-American audiovisual content on the global stage.
