Paris, 12 April 2021 - Digital MIPTV opens its virtual doors to the international television industry today, bringing together global distributors, producers, buyers and commissioners of drama, doc, kids, factual and formats programming for a concentrated week of personalised business meetings, exclusive market intelligence, conference sessions and global networking.

Lucy Smith, Director of MIPTV said: This week will deliver a valuable mix of one-to-one meetings, networking, and market intelligence, with a sharp focus on doing real business, not just talking shop.
