The UAE’s Creators HQ, the world’s first international hub for content creators and entrepreneurs, has announced a strategic partnership with X, the global social media platform, to produce exclusive and original content.
This collaboration aims to reinforce the UAE’s status as a leading hub for the creative economy while promoting its mission of fostering cultural connections worldwide.
As part of its inaugural initiative, Creators HQ launched a competition offering a $500,000 prize to encourage creators to produce impactful content for X. This initiative aligns with the 1 Billion Followers Summit, the world’s largest event for the creator economy, which has attracted over 15,000 creators, 420 global influencers, and numerous expert speakers.
The summit also features the prestigious $1 million award for impactful content and the One Billion Pitches competition, which has garnered AED 50 million in investment funds for creators.
Brett Weitz, Global Head of Content at X, praised the UAE’s multicultural environment, stating,
“The UAE, with its cultural diversity and openness, serves as the perfect backdrop for this collaboration. Together, we aim to spotlight the UAE’s vibrant content creation landscape.”
Alia AlHammadi, Vice Chairperson of the UAE Government Media Office, highlighted the UAE’s ambition to lead advancements in digital media.
“Creators HQ aims to establish the UAE as the global capital for digital content creation, empowering creators and fostering international cooperation.”
With advanced infrastructure, incentives, and initiatives like Creators HQ, the UAE is cementing its position as a global hub for content creation and the digital media economy.
