Media Park

What Media Park does

Media Park Enterprise (legal entity) operates the Media Park campus in Hilversum, Netherlands — self-described as the largest media cluster in Europe. The campus hosts more than 150 media-industry companies (including NOS, RTL, NPO, NEP, EMG, ITV Studios, Viaplay, BNNVARA, ESPN, and the Beeld & Geluid media museum), with approximately 6,000 people working on site daily across more than 100 different media organizations. The company positions the asset as a "Media Talent & Innovation Campus," combining production infrastructure, talent development programs, and community events under one roof.

The core product is the physical campus itself, comprising studio and event facilities (Studio 21, Studio 24, the LED-based Studio XNL, and the XR Lab for VR/AR prototyping with Mediacollege Amsterdam), hospitality venues (David's Bar & Restaurant, The Hub, Brasserie Villa Heideheuvel), shared parking, and event programming such as Dutch Media Week and Dag van de Mediastages. Revenue is generated through campus real estate and facilities management (office and studio leasing, facility services), event hosting and venue rental (productions, recordings, corporate events in Studio 21, Studio 24, and The Hub), and ancillary services (parking, hospitality concessions). The go-to-market is primarily event- and relationship-driven: direct enterprise leasing for tenants, direct sales for event venue rentals, and consumer-facing visitor programs (Xperience Days, museum, tours).

The company is privately held under Media Park Enterprise, with director Tim Sleegers leading campus management. Media Park Enterprise operates as a strategic ground owner and development partner with the municipality of Hilversum, formalized via an intention agreement (Gebiedsagenda Media Park) that defines joint ambitions for media, technology, education, housing, and hospitality functions. The asset base and community density are the principal differentiators; the operating entity itself is small (11–50 employees), and revenue/financial details are not publicly disclosed.
