The NAB’s PILOT initiative is a coalition of innovators, educators and advocates dedicated to advancing broadcast technologies and cultivating new media opportunities via research, development, incubation, investment and education. A successor to the earlier “NAB Labs,” PILOT was formed in early 2016, and it brings together the broadcaster members of NAB with a new class of other stakeholder members sharing broadcasters’ passion and dedication to innovation. These PILOT members collaborate with broadcasters across the value chain to drive new opportunities in the industry.
