Dubai has launched a one-stop-shop for media professionals and organisations who can now enjoy a range of exclusive services in the emirate.
Titled ‘One Media Dubai’, the initiative by Dubai Media Council will benefit Emiratis, Arabs and foreign media professionals and organisations, Khaleej Times reported.
“The launch of ‘One Media Dubai’ will add significant new value to the media community in Dubai and support efforts to realise the vision of His Highness Shaikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to reinforce the emirate’s status as a leading global media hub," council chairman Shaikh Ahmed bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum said.
"The initiative will also further enhance the rich, supportive, growth-friendly environment that Dubai offers creatives, innovators and other professionals in the media industry," he added.
The first phase of the initiative will offer services such as media and commercial licensing, office leasing, visas and immigration, banking, tourism and hospitality, education consulting, residential real estate, and telecom services.
The service has been launched in partnership with various government and semi-government entities in Dubai such as the Media Regulatory Office, Dubai Media City, Federal Authority of Identity and Citizenship, General Directorate of Residency and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, Dubai’s Department of Economy and Tourism, Knowledge and Human Development Authority (Khda), Emirates NBD, Dubai Design District, and Etisalat.
Dubai Press Club has been directed to lead the implementation of the initiative by facilitating access to the services offered.
