Why meet and do business at the Global Media Congress 2022?

Regional Media Companies

Building and developing a digital business model, using digital technologies, and reinventing direct-to-consumer model.

Local media companies can transform data and analytics into insights about consumers’ motivations and turn those insights into strategy. This capability differentiates successful companies from less successful ones.

Multinational Media Companies

MENA’s large and growing young population represents a great potential as a market. The region is composed of divergent markets, varying economic development levels, different regulatory environments, and diverse content preferences.

It is essential to prioritize markets by evaluating their potentials and entry barriers, in addition to directing the content production ecosystem and working with regulators to understand their obligations.

Telecom Operators

Tapping new sources of growth and optimizing average revenues per user.

Telecom operators can use their distribution capability, ability to invest, consumer data, and direct billing relationships to serve the ever-growing appetite for digital content.

Acquisitions and partnerships are viable routes to growing their presence in the media sector.

Government and Regulators

Markets are driven by healthy competition where businesses protect consumers by ensuring their data is secure and content does not break social norms.

Governments regulate a friendly business environment by reflecting the rapidly evolving consumer and cultural landscape. They play a key role in supporting the development of digital production infrastructure and ecosystems.
