The South International Series festival, held in Cádiz, announces the creation of a new investment forum called South Investors Week. The event is set to take place in 2027 and aims to connect audiovisual producers with private financiers looking for projects to support.
According to the information provided, the forum will run from April 30 to May 5, 2027, during the festival's fifth edition. It is organized with Womack Group and Mira Anta, two players expected to support the setup of this event dedicated to financing series and audiovisual productions.
The stated goal is straightforward: to allow production companies seeking funds to meet private investors. In a sector where series financing often relies on a balance between broadcasters, platforms, public grants and outside capital, a dedicated meeting space can offer a complementary route alongside the usual fundraising channels. The forum is therefore primarily aimed at audiovisual production companies in search of financing.
The announcement was made during the current edition of the festival, which serves as a springboard for this new initiative. South International Series has established itself as a key gathering for international television fiction, and the addition of a financial component reflects the event's intention to broaden its role beyond programming and the distribution of works. Linking the forum to an already established edition also makes it possible to draw on an audience of professionals who are already present in Cádiz.
The chosen timing, late April and early May 2027, places the forum in an intermediate period of the audiovisual year, between the major program markets and the high points of the broadcast season. This date range gives producers time to prepare their financing files before presenting them to investors, a point that can matter for projects still in development.
Several details remain to be clarified, however. The detailed program of the forum, the expected number of participants, participation costs and the exact format of the event have not yet been communicated. The organizers are expected to provide this information as preparations for the 2027 edition progress, and at this stage the announcement does not allow the scale the forum may reach to be assessed.
