Nowadays, we are living in a hyper-connected world: we are spending more and more time on the internet and social networks. However, we are also wasting more and more time. The digital space is filled with advertisements and fake content. This brainwash the minds of our youth and kills their creativity.

I’ve been dreaming of a social network where creators could easily co-create and publish novels, stories, poems and illustrations by giving them the freedom to create without the pressure. I’ve been dreaming of a social network where its users choose their own subjects of interest. I’ve been dreaming of a social network where anybody could write anything they wanted.

3 years ago, I presented that dream of mine in front of the European Commission. This dream had no funds, no team and no product.

Today, we have created the only social network dedicated to writing. This social network is collaborative, free of advertisements and dedicated to creativity. On Panodyssey, you read a diversity of texts, fiction and nonfiction: poems, informative articles, novels and stories. You also get to customize your readings: in the morning, you can inform yourselves about your favorite topics and at night, you can relax and read a fun story. 

Panodyssey offers an authentic experience to both the readers and the creators. Panodyssey disables fake content, fake profiles, fake views and fake likes. Panodyssey respects, protects and valorizes creativity, thanks to intellectual property rights management.

Panodyssey isn’t a regular startup. It is a collective and collaborative initiative. We are not alone in this! With our partners, we are now officially launching the Creative Room European Alliance. Our goal is to create a new European digital space around a model reconciling the digital world with ethics. This alliance is composed of 9 founding partners, and puts diversity on honor. This alliance is deployed in 5 European countries, in 5 languages and 5 sectors: publishing industries, audiovisual and media companies, cultural organizations, education and technology.

But that’s not all ! The Creative Room European Alliance is open for all, and growing day by day. New stakeholders are joining us in order to deploy this cultural alliance in the 27 European countries. You are all welcome to join the CREA 1 so we can design together the CREA 2. 

Today, thanks to EFE Agencia, we are launching our Creative European Tour at the heart of the creative European trends with writers and creators. The Hungarian launching event will take place in the wonderful city of Budapest on the 13th of October. The Italian launching event will take place on the 19th of October with artists and publishers in the magical place : Piazza San Marco, in Venezia.

After a year of dedicated collaboration with our community of independent and professional creators, we have designed a new product. We are happy to announce that our social network dedicated to writing is now open for professionals. We call it Panodyssey Pro.

Our aim is to become the first European creative and cultural network by connecting 10 million creators and a hundred million users in 2030 honoring creativity, independence, freedom, respect, transparency and valorisation. When this happens, we will also be creating the greatest European social network, a concept that will be duplicable in other sectors in the world. 

We’ve had enough of American entertainment hegemony.

Let’s make European creativity shine through the digital world. 

If you want to create value differently,

If you want to share value fairly,

Join Panodyssey, 

Join the Creative Room European Alliance

I warmly thank you for your attention. Now, I give the hand to Melina who will present our new product, Panodyssey Pro.
