The 12th edition of NEM Dubrovnik 2025 will be held from 9 to 12 June.

Over the years, NEM Zagreb has become a special meeting point for key decision-makers to discuss industry trends – and this year will be no exception. The goal of the event is to connect talent with valuable opportunities, create space for new collaborations and enhance the TV industry in Central and Eastern Europe. The event serves as a platform for opportunities for new projects, jobs, co-productions between CEE countries and co-production between low and high-production capacity countries, content acquisitions within and outside the CEE and investments by European or global streamers into CEE original content.
