DUBAI MEDIA CITY

Strategically located in Dubai at the crossroads of the Middle East, Africa and South Asia, Dubai Media City is rapidly emerging as a global media hub.
Launched in January 2001, Dubai Media City is a creative community for the media industry, designed to give media businesses the ‘Freedom to Create’. This City within the city aims to provide a free and flexible environment where ideas flow transparently and without barriers. Dubai Media City is a global launch pad for media business, creative talent and international corporations.
Companies within Dubai Media City enjoy the commercial benefits of a free zone status, including 100% business ownership requiring no sponsorship and a guaranteed 50-year exemption from personal income and corporate taxes. Comparatively lower operating costs prevalent in the region also contribute to a significant competitive advantage.
Today, with over 850 companies and 5000 knowledge workers, Dubai Media City’s ever increasing number of companies reads like a ‘Who's Who' of the media business community. Leading global players such as Associated Press, Bertelsmann, CNN, CNBC, International Advertising Association (IAA), McGrawhill Platts, Sony and Reuters rub shoulders with regionally reputed companies like Middle East Broadcasting Corporation (MBC), Saudi Research and Publishing (SRPC) and Taj TV.
