Dubai has taken a significant step toward solidifying its status as a global leader in media production with the establishment of two new specialized committees: the Dubai Film Development Committee and the Dubai Gaming Committee. These initiatives, formed under resolutions issued by Sheikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Second Deputy Ruler of Dubai and Chairman of the Dubai Media Council (DMC), aim to drive innovation and growth in the film and gaming sectors. The committees are part of a broader strategy to enhance Dubai’s media ecosystem, attract international talent, and create new opportunities for investors and content creators. The Dubai Film Development Committee, chaired by Issam Kazim, will focus on supporting local and international production studios, facilitating training programs for young filmmakers, and fostering emerging talent. Meanwhile, the Dubai Gaming Committee, led by Khalfan Belhoul, will prioritize partnerships, specialized training, and the expansion of startups to accelerate the digital economy and reinforce Dubai’s leadership in the gaming industry. Both committees will benefit from Dubai’s world-class infrastructure, agile regulatory frameworks, and strategic geographical location. Mona Ghanem Al Marri, Vice Chairperson and Managing Director of the DMC, emphasized that these initiatives align with the Dubai Economic Agenda, D33, and position the creative economy at the heart of Dubai’s economic ecosystem. The resolutions mandate full cooperation from government entities and relevant organizations to ensure the committees’ success in achieving their objectives.
