Heba Korayem _ Hconsult

Heba Korayem, Content Market & Distribution Consultant at HConsult, who will chair the
Salon again this year, spoke highly of the initiative, stating that the previous event saw over
250 quality meetings take place, with around 30 high-value partnership deals in negotiation
during the three-day period.

Korayem added: “I can confidently count that at least half of the business deals discussed
have already been closed. That’s pretty good in the MENA region, as it is not unusual for
deals to take several months to finalise. I’m delighted that we are able to offer the
opportunities to the right people that can accelerate the process.”

Also expected to participate in this year’s Co-Production Salon are some of the most
prominent platforms and broadcasters, including Shahid, TOD, StarzPlay, VOX, OSN,
StarsPlay, E-Vision, and Saudi Broadcast Corporation, along with noted Arabic content
producers from the UAE-based Eagle Films; Saudi’s Art Format Lab; Cedars Art from
Lebanon, and the Egyptian Arpu Plus and United Media Services.
