About OKRE
OKRE (Opening Knowledge across Research and Entertainment), is an organisation at the heart of the entertainment industry. It was established in 2020 to help TV, film and videogame creators deliver the best audience experiences by connecting them with breakthrough research and lived experience.
OKRE works with organisations across the ecosystem, spearheading a number of initiatives as part of its mission is to connect the industry, spark projects and create serendipity. It does this by acting as a catalyst for the industry through the OKRE Network and the OKRE Fund.

- The OKRE Fund – The Fund is the venture arm of OKRE’s work, providing early-stage and production funding to imaginative and collaborative projects across research and entertainment. OKRE Funded projects currently include videogames, TV and feature dramas, comedies and immersive projects.
- OKRE Events – OKRE run on and offline events to boost and develop the network and activate collaboration across sectors. Our flagship event is the OKRE Summit which brings together content creators from across film, television, games, podcasting and social media with philanthropic funders and leaders from the charity sector.
