SIMF launches S$100M media content production fund

Asian media companies need to get local businesses to help in projects to qualify.

A new S$100 million fund for Asian media companies to create cross-platform content and productions has been made available by SIMF Management, a media financing tie-up between Singapore’s Media Development Authority (MDA) and Hong Kong's Salon Films Group.

Funding is for projects to produce content like Asian-made films, TV series, animation and computer games that can be adapted to suit platforms across mediums like film, television, computer games and mobile phones.

SIMF is calling for proposals from regional media companies and aims to approve three to five projects costing S$3 million to S$20 million by the end of 2010. Applicants must get Singapore companies to help in their projects in order to qualify for the funding.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
