World Audio visual and Entertainment Summit (WAVES) to be held at Goa

Imphal: The Ministry of Information and Broadcasting, Shastri Bhawan, New Delhi, is organising a global summit for the media and entertainment industry collectively known as The World Audio Visual & Entertainment Summit (WAVES), specifically focusing on the Indian media and entertainment Industry, at Goa from 20th to 24th November, 2024, along with 55th International Film Festival of India (IFFI).

WAVES will bring the Indian Media and Entertainment leaders from across the globe on to one platform to discuss the issues, mechanisms and create frameworks for enhancing opportunities. The Summit will include roundtable discussions among countries, cross-cultural content promotion, boost the Animation, Visual Effects, Gaming, and Comics industry, promote Indian IPs, enhance business opportunities for global and Indian players, showcase Indian talent pool, and poise media and entertainment as a means to generate employment in a sustainable media ecosystem.

Media and Entertainment industry is one of the fastest growing sectors of the country’s economy, with the second-largest online market in the world. Driven by rising incomes, the increasing availability of fast internet and low data rates, large smart phone penetration, growing consumer demand and advertising revenues, the sector is expected to reach an immense value which will play a major role in boosting India’s economy.

‘Hosting a global media and entertainment summit named WAVES in India will represent India as a global player in this realm and enhance India’s global image and soft power. Developing the event as an annual marquee event will help appropriate positioning in the sector’.

​The ministry requested individuals and organisations that are keen on exploring collaborations, investments and market opportunities in India’s dynamic media and entertainment sector to promote participation in WAVES.
