Dubai’s creative economy is providing opportunities for both the creators of content and the entrepreneurs that can distribute it to hungry audiences.
For Maaz Sheikh, CEO and Co-Founder of StarzPlay, the ease of doing business and a government that embraces collaborative approaches meant he was able to establish a streaming service that is serving not just Dubai and the UAE, but also the wider region.
With access to talent behind and in front of the camera – set to be enhanced by Dubai’s strategy to more than double the number of creatives in the city to 140,000 by 2025 – StarzPlay is creating local content for the region, made by people from the region.
