Reverse pitch “5G for creative” Zú @ Sxsw

Zú – REVERSE PITCH “5G for creative” @ Canada House (The Venue) – MARCH 17TH at noon.

Let’s reverse roles! Zú and its partners will pitch 5G to creative entrepreneurs and startups. Startups will have the chance to learn and ask questions about the challenges and the innovation context of 5G network before taking it over to create new experiences and ways of tell stories with it.

Zú is looking for innovative solutions and ideas that truly demonstrate the creative power of the new 5G network. Within the 5G TELUS Lab, Zú wants to explore its impact on the next generation of media and entertainment (interactive, immersive experiences, games, mixed realities, engagement of fans) and all other applications possible.
