The regional TV station TV2 Nord joins the media tech cluster Media City Odense (MCO). It was presented at a meeting today, where the cluster's director Anne Dyrehauge was invited to Aabybro to tell the employees at the station about the new opportunities that membership brings. 

The news sends a strong signal that the burgeoning media cluster is not just for Funen companies, but is a national player that has ambitions to gather and strengthen the entire Danish media and media tech industry.

- Vi glæder os. Projektet giver mening, også selv om vi er nødt til at have et langdistanceforhold til klyngens sekretariat i Odense. Jeg håber, at MCO udvikler sig til at være landsdækkende og ikke bare en fynsk landsby. Det tror jeg, vi kan hjælpe med, og i så fald er det det hele værd. Vi har brug for at tænke nyt og holde os aktuelle, hvis vi skal fortsætte med at være relevante som medier, og det tror jeg, vi gør bedre ved at arbejde tæt sammen og være proaktive, siger Mikael Justesen, direktør ved TV2 Nord.

The cluster initiative was established in Odense in January 2021 and was founded by TV 2 Danmark, JFM, TV 2 Fyn and SDU. TV2 Nord enters a community for knowledge and development, which at the time of writing comprises 23 companies, including the marketing agency Nørgård Mikkelsen, the communications company KommPress, the educational institution UCL and several production and media tech companies such as Profox and MediaCatch. 

- Vi er rigtig begejstret for at få TV2 Nord med i fællesskabet. De deler vores ambitioner for klyngen, og vi har flere projekter, som de vil være oplagte at koble på, og som vi tror, de kan være med til at løfte til fordel for dem selv, klyngen og resten af den danske mediebranche, siger MCO-direktør Anne Dyrehauge, der glæder sig til at bringe Media City Odense mere ud i landet.
