MIPJUNIOR 2026

The global accelerator for kids and family content, from pre-school to young adults.

Beyond Kids. From Story to Franchise.

Where the next generation's entertainment begins

Spanning preschool, kids, tweens, teens and young adult audiences, MIPJUNIOR is where stories scale into global franchises - bringing together development, financing, monetisation and distribution in one marketplace where ideas take shape, partnerships form, and IP is built to travel across platforms, audiences and territories.

From early-stage concepts to market-ready titles, it connects creators, studios and IP owners with buyers, investors and partners to drive international growth and unlock opportunities to reach young audiences wherever they engage.

If MIPCOM is where deals close, MIPJUNIOR is where they begin.

From Audiences to Communities.
