Description
As investment into Asia faces regulatory and financial challenges, some of the most interesting investments in the entertainment and IP space are more modest licensing and other transactions that involve content across multiple media platforms. Asian media companies are linking up with entertainment content providers to forge creative partnerships that achieve each party’s strategic goals.
