Audiovisivo Start-Up is part of "Creating and Promoting a Multimedia District in Emilia-Romagna", which rose out of the Evolved and Aware Young People Framework Program (2007-2009) that was signed in December 2007 between the Emilia-Romagna Region and the Minister of Youth.

Within the Multimedia District, Cineteca has launched the "Centre for Audiovisual Development in Emilia-Romagna", which as well as encouraging funding for regional films, also boasts the skills and resources necessary to provide relevant information, training, promotion and consulting services.

In particular, the Centre is committed to promoting the development and production of regional film projects, supporting startups and developing entrepreneurial activities within the sector. In this way it also reinforces its network of relationships and strengthens the collective identity. The Centre also has a technical and productive role as a trainer in the audiovisual field, offering invaluable information services to everyone within the sector.
