During the event, Vera Elchyk remarked:
“Today, the media market is evolving so rapidly that no company can operate effectively in isolation from global trends.”
Her comment highlights the necessity of keeping pace with worldwide developments to succeed in the media industry. Anastasiia Poddubna added:
“Taking part in NEM Dubrovnik 2026 allowed us not only to analyze the practices of Europe’s largest telecom market players but also to lay the groundwork for new partnerships essential for the effective distribution of content and Ukrainian international broadcasting channels abroad.”
This reflects a proactive effort to expand Ukraine’s international broadcasting presence on the global stage. Key topics discussed at the event included:
- new partnership models between traditional broadcasters and global streaming platforms

Content trends—such as investments in original European productions and the micro-drama phenomenon in the CEE region—were also debated. Media security emerged as another critical theme, covering modern anti-piracy strategies and the repercussions of major media mergers. These discussions underscore how Ukrainian media companies are actively integrating into the global industry and exploring new avenues for growth.
