Enterprising Dubai – StarzPlay, streaming ahead and creating locally
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.
