Gravity Media Delivers Global Distribution and Streaming Services at WEF in China

Gravity Media has successfully managed the broadcast and streaming infrastructure for the World Economic Forum’s Annual Meeting of the New Champions in Dalian, China. Operating from its facilities in Belgium, the company provided end-to-end content distribution, including live feeds, video-on-demand, and social media streams for global audiences. This partnership highlights the growing reliance on cloud-based media platforms and AI-driven localization to deliver complex, multi-language international events at scale.

Gravity Media, in collaboration with DB Video, facilitated the global distribution for the World Economic Forum’s (WEF) high-profile event in Dalian, China. Managed from a dedicated hub in Vilvoorde, Belgium, the team oversaw the end-to-end delivery of the event's world feed, live streaming services, and IPTV distribution. This project is part of a long-term, multi-year partnership with the WEF that covers major global summits in locations ranging from Davos to Dubai, ensuring consistent media delivery for international leaders and stakeholders.

During the three-day summit, the technical team managed approximately 60 sessions, processing up to five live sessions simultaneously with real-time monitoring and transcoding. The operation centered on Webble-Cast, a cloud-based media distribution platform that handled signal ingestion via SRT-encoders and integrated with Salesforce for management. The system supported adaptive bitrate streaming up to Full HD (1080p) and automated video-on-demand (VoD) conversion, allowing for rapid content archiving and accessibility across multiple digital platforms.

To meet the needs of a diverse international audience, the deployment featured AI-powered language services and closed captioning through Syncwords. This integration provided six additional subtitle languages for both web and on-site IPTV viewers, significantly enhancing global engagement. The infrastructure demonstrated significant scale, processing approximately 50 terabytes of data and accommodating up to 10,000 simultaneous press viewers, illustrating the robust capacity required for modern high-stakes streaming and media distribution.
