In an era where technology and creativity converge, the world is witnessing groundbreaking partnerships that redefine the boundaries of innovation. Today, we are thrilled to announce a collaboration that promises to shape the future experience of events and festivals in a dimension previously unexplored.

The MILC Project is under the development and supervision of Welt der Wunder TV (Engl.: “World of Wonder TV”), an independent entertainment free-to-air TV network in Germany and Switzerland, based in Munich and Zug. Founded in 1996, Welt der Wunder is one of the best-known media brands in the DACH region and has been active in the market for over 27 years. Welt der Wunder launched the first German Metaverse in 2021, and has been supporting brands getting ready for Metaverse since then. As a significant player in the media industry, Welt der Wunder also leads the charge in developing an international licensing trade of digital media content based on blockchain technology. This partnership between Welt der Wunder’s MILC Platform and Numbers represents a bold step into uncharted territory, where creativity and technology intersect.

Initial Collaboration: Oldenburg Film Festival

Oldenburg International Film Festival, often referred to as the European Sundance, has firmly established itself as a cornerstone of the international festival circuit, serving as a vital platform for independent cinema in Europe. This year, for its 30th anniversary, it opened a new perspective by bringing a physical festival to a virtual world in the metaverse with MILC Platform, and presented a selection of films and live streams during the festival. To applaud such a great move, Numbers supports The Oldenburg Film Festival team and MILC to capture festival highlights throughout the years to the blockchain to mark its importance. This collaboration marks the dawn of a new era for MILC and Numbers, showcasing the vast potential of their partnership.

A Partnership Aligned with Vision

The partnership between MILC and Numbers Protocol is more than a collaboration; it’s a convergence of shared visions and values. Together, they aspire to not only serve the media industry but also empower the countless creators within it. These creators are the cornerstone of the industry, the driving force propelling it forward. This partnership spans various dimensions, including how both technology and platforms can be integrated and implemented to elevate experience for events like Oldenburg International Film Festival, and how creative media contents can be flowed between platforms to platforms without losing control of ownership for creators.

“We are thrilled to be partnering with Numbers Protocol. We are aligned in our goals to empower content creators, and integrating their technology into our metaverse will unlock new opportunities for the creative community. Our collaboration together with Oldenburg Film Festival is just the beginning. We look forward to working together and pushing the boundaries of how technology is shaping the media industry's future”. Richard Flynn, Senior Licensing Manager, the MILC Platform
