coproduction salon we look forward to meeting with established production houses, platforms, and
potential business partners.”

Heba Korayem, Content Market & Distribution Consultant at HConsult, who will chair the Salon again

this year, stated that the previous event saw more than 250 quality meetings take place, with around
30 high-value partnership deals in negotiation during the three-day period.

Korayem added: “I can confidently say 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.
