Stefan Bardega of MediaCom began the evening as keynote speaker, discussing the ever-changing worlds of media and digitial technology, and how his company is working to be innovative during this time.

Among the judges were Danvers Baillieu (Privax), Stefan Bardega (MediaCom), Julian Carter (EC1 Capital), William Chappel (Barclays Corporate), Xaver Matt (Netleadz) and Tom Turcan (Runcat Consulting).

Emotivu is geared towards the movie industry, giving movie lovers a new way to communicate and learn about different films. Chen pitched that Emotivu monitors social media, and then users of the app will be able to get a more personalised movie recommendation.
