Mediagenix to demo integration of Spideo personalisation tech at IBC

Fully integrated personalisation and recommendations engine continuously refines data-driven decisions from content strategy to title management and automated scheduling. Mediagenix is set to highlight the full integration of Spideo's advanced personalisation and recommendation technology across its entire platform at IBC 2025. This development represents a major leap forward in audience-centric content operations by embedding personalisation not just at the user interface level, but throughout the entire content lifecycle. Traditionally, personalisation tools have been confined to improving front-end user experience. Mediagenix is shifting that paradigm by leveraging Spideo's capabilities to influence upstream content decisions, such as what to produce, acquire, curate or schedule, well before content reaches the viewer. The result is enhanced audience engagement, more efficient monetisation and increased agility in operations. Ivan Verbesselt, Chief Strategy & Marketing Officer at Mediagenix, said: 'At IBC we're showing what happens when you embed content and audience intelligence across the entire content lifecycle. By deeply integrating Spideo, we're helping our customers go beyond personalisation at the point of consumption, giving them the tools to make strategic decisions much earlier in the game, faster, with greater impact on engagement and ROI.' The company's innovation was recently recognised in IDC Innovators: Media and Entertainment 2025, where Mediagenix was named an IDC Innovator for its cutting-edge personalisation strategy. This vision is further explored in the company's latest whitepaper, Engagement & Conversion Hacking: Reimagining the Content Lifecycle Around Personalisation. Central to its strategy is the Self-Optimising Content Monetisation Flywheel, a continuous feedback loop that uses downstream viewer data to refine upstream content choices, boosting engagement and reducing content waste. Mediagenix's personalisation technology is already being utilised by leading media brands such as Globo, DirecTV Latin America and Sky Brasil. Results from these deployments have shown substantial impact, including a 20–60% increase in engagement, over 35% improvement in viewing conversion, and 62% daily catalog exposure. At IBC 2025, attendees will experience how Mediagenix's AI-powered tools, ranging from content strategy and smart title management to multi-platform scheduling and automated programming, use predictive insights to enhance content value. The platform's modular SaaS architecture supports features such as predictive acquisition and commissioning in content strategy; semantic smart curation that aligns editorial goals with rights availability; automated scheduling tailored to audience performance goals; and real-time personalization and recommendation engines for maximizing viewer retention. Mediagenix continues to redefine how content is selected, packaged and monetised, transforming viewer behaviour data into strategic, revenue-driving actions throughout the content value chain.

Ecocem announces plans for new plant to produce ACT low-carbon product

Infrastructure Ecocem announces plans for new plant to produce ACT low-carbon product By The project is a JV between Ecocem in France and CB Green, a division of French minerals processing group Groupe CB Dublin-based alternative cement producer Ecocem has announced plans to establish a new plant to manufacture its ACT low-carbon product. The new ACT plant will be built at Ecocem's existing factory next to ArcelorMittal's blast furnaces in Dunkirk, France. It will have the capacity to produce up to 300,000t of ACT annually, boosting the Dunkirk plant's production capacity to more than a million tonnes per year. The plant will serve as Ecocem's inaugural factory dedicated to producing the new product, which Ecocem asserts has the potential to achieve a globally scalable 70% reduction in the cement industry's carbon footprint. Ecocem explains that ACT achieves this by optimising the utilisation of locally available alternative materials, commonly referred to as supplementary cementitious materials (SCMs), while ensuring that any concrete produced using ACT meets the necessary durability, workability, mechanical strength, and cost requirements. ACT is a proprietary technology that uses a specific blend of minerals and additives combined with optimised particle size distribution. According to Ecocem it can be produced at almost any existing cement plant without significant investment or modifications and does not require changes in construction practices. The total investment for the plant expansion is US $54mn, funded through a bank loan classified as a 'Green Loan' by the EthiFinance agency and supported by both the French government and local authorities. Ecocem Group Founder and Managing Director Donal O'Riain said, 'The industrialisation of our ACT technology marks a historic turning point for the cement industry. Cement manufacturing processes have remained unchanged for 200 years; ACT represents a true technological breakthrough and an opportunity to rapidly decarbonise what is one of the world's most polluting industries – responsible for almost 8% of global emissions – without compromising quality and performance or significantly increasing costs.' 'The support of public authorities, particularly through France 2030, validates our vision and innovative capability. This is a major recognition for Ecocem and our ACT technology, which has received its first public funding since the company was established in 2000. In 2026, we will be able to offer the market a low-carbon solution deployable on an industrial scale. This advancement, supported by major industrial players and public authorities, positions France and, more broadly, Europe at the forefront of cement decarbonisation,' he added The project is a joint venture between Ecocem in France and CB Green, a division of French minerals processing group Groupe CB. The focus in the first half of 2025 will be on installing the mill, a key component that will produce the required fillers, as well as expanding blending and storage facilities for ACT. Construction will begin in early 2025, with a view to delivering ACT to the market in the second half of 2026.
