PILOT’s 2024 Innovation Challenge selects startups and growing companies looking to help broadcasters rise to some of the key challenges and seize opportunities they are likely to face over the next few years.

This annual opportunity highlights innovations that will help broadcast media address challenges in an increasingly competitive and dynamic marketplace.
