Dubai is growing as a regional focal point for talent, resources and investment in this sector, with the city providing an ideal platform for creative professionals from across the world to showcase their talent, and for media and entertainment organisations to tap opportunities in the region. The event also adds to the creative environment of Dubai and contributes to further fostering innovation and artistic excellence in the industry.”
