Dubai Media City expands Business Centre for media entrepreneurs

The new phase will significantly expand the Media Business Centre, which has already emerged as the largest source of freelance media talent in the region with 366 professionals based there.

The 27,500 sq ft Business Centre III will feature sleek executive offices and state-of-the-art technology and communication systems, conference and meeting rooms, and a lounge area specially designed for professionals to display their work. The third phase is expected to accommodate 125 small companies and freelancers.
Mohamed Al Mulla, Director of Dubai Media City said: "The expansion is part of Dubai Media City's commitment to supporting the aspirations of freelancers, independent media professionals and small companies."

"Our Media Business Centre has today developed into a large resource of talent that the industry can tap for their needs. Over the years, the Business Centre has supported the growth of many enterprising media professionals. We hope to give wings to the dreams of many more talented individuals."

The DMC Business Centre has virtually served as an incubator for many business ideas over the past few years. Since 2004, over 35 companies have scaled up their business operations from a small facility in the Business Centre to set up commercial offices in Dubai Media City.

The Media Business Centre offers professionals sponsorship, simplified visa procedures, flexible leasing and assistance to establish their business.

The Media Business Centre houses media professionals from a broad spectrum of sectors including photography, journalism, marketing, advertising, PR, events, publishing, production and post-production, new media and music.
The third phase of the Business Centre is expected to be operational by the first quarter of 2007 at the Al Thuraya II Tower.
