Every year over 260 potential investors - all interested in animation - attend the Cartoon Forum. This includes over 100 broadcasters and 160 investors/video editors who have the advantage of getting a sneak preview of the latest animation projects for the television from 29 different European countries.

Over 300 projects (for a total budget of more than 1000 million EUR) presented at the Cartoon Forum have secured their financing and are now in production or being broadcasted worldwide.

The Cartoon Forum is neither a fair nor a festival, but rather a co-production forum, where European producers can negotiate financing for new projects. The Forum combines trailer presentations, working sessions and business meetings with opportunities for socialising and sightseeing: the relaxed setting of the Cartoon Forum has become an intrinsic element for the whole European animation industry.

CARTOON Forum is organised by the international European agency CARTOON which also runs CARTOON Movie (a marketplace for feature-length animation) and various training activities throughout the year.

There is a deadline for project registration. Participant registration can be accepted throughout the summer leading up to the event itself until it has reached capacity attendance.
