The Pitch offers talks, exchanges of opinions or presentations with the aim of establishing collaborations and raise funding, as explained by the director of the event, Andreu Fullana: "we bring together professionals and creators who give life to the stories we see on the screens and we bring them together with televisions and platforms to encourage them to invest.
The deputy mayor for Culture, Manu Mas, described the meeting as “intense”: “we are sure that these days will bear fruits. It is the third year in the municipality, which confirms that we are facing a good transversal project that unites public and private initiative.
