The Co-Production Meetings are Porto Industry Days’ platform dedicated to film and audiovisual projects in development or pre-production.
In 2026, the activity strengthens its European dimension, promoting contact between selected projects and producers, funds, sales agents, distributors, programmers, platforms, consultants and other invited professionals. Its aim is to support financing, co-production and international circulation strategies, creating the conditions for relevant professional encounters and concrete partnerships.
Over two days, the selected projects take part in a preparatory session, are publicly presented in English and benefit from a personalised schedule of one-to-one meetings. Each presentation will last a maximum of 8 minutes, including a teaser or mood video with a maximum duration of 3 minutes.
The selection prioritises projects with an authorial vision, development maturity, international co-production potential, financial feasibility and the capacity to benefit from a professional market context. The programme also seeks to encourage diversity of territories, formats, film genres, creative teams and artistic approaches.
