Speaking on the Talent Zone, Mohammed Al Mulla, Executive Director of Dubai Media City said:

"Supporting the development of the creative media community is part of our larger strategy of nurturing talent in the region. Apart from being a hub for the industry, Dubai Media City is a large resource for independent talent that the industry can tap for their needs. "

"Over the past five years, we have supported the growth of many enterprising media professionals. The Media and Marketing Show is a great opportunity for freelancers and small companies to enhance visibility and build new links with the region's media industry."

Yesterday, Dubai Media City (DMC) announced the launch of the third phase of the Media Business Centre that will provide a base for up to 125 freelancers and small companies.

The new phase will significantly expand the Media Business Centre, which is already the largest source of freelance media talent in the region with 366 members.
