About SellNews GmbH
The SellNews platform allows people who have recorded news-relevant media (video and photographs) to create an auction to sell their material. Interested news media organizations can bid on the items on sale and the highest bidder purchases the full, exclusive rights to the material.

The challenge
The prototype of the auction platform is already online (www.sell-news.com).
The team is continuously working on optimization of the product and adding localisation and georeference functionality by means of apps (iPhone, iPad, Android).
One key feature will be the authentication of the offered media preventing digital image manipulation.
The solution
SellNews GmbH is hosted at ESA Business Incubation Centre (BIC) Darmstadt, run by the German company cesah. This has provided the opportunity to consult ESA experts who have supported with technology insights and ideas to improve the system.
In addition, especially the support provided by cesah in relation to general business activities has been very helpful
