CABSAT, the flagship event for broadcast, media, satellite, and entertainment

industries, is once again teaming up with HConsult to host the second annual

MENA region Co-Production Salon at the show's upcoming edition, which takes
place at the Dubai World Trade Centre from May 16-18, 2023.

The Co-Production Salon builds on the success of its debut in 2022, as, once

again, the initiative will aim to encourage investment in MENA content projects

through co-funding, co-production, and commissioning. It will also facilitate

opportunities to explore other content funding avenues such as brand integration,
private investments, and product placement.

The first Co-Production Salon held in 2022 attracted more than 40 participating

companies, including reputed international platforms, TV channels, production

houses, and private investors. This year's Salon will once again be based in a

dedicated meeting lounge that promises to be even more expansive and well-
equipped than before, complete with private areas to meet, network, and discuss

business.

With its 29th edition fast approaching, CABSAT is once again working with the

most innovative content creators, producers, broadcast technology providers, as
well as satellite distribution and content delivery companies, to identify common

traits of success across all verticals that can serve as the blueprint for future

growth.

Highlights from the previous edition of the Co-Production Lounge included Roya TV
from Jordan, Egypt's T-Vision, Morocco's Image Factory, and Bright Lens Media

from the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia as some of the participating companies,

while the 2023 instalment will welcome both Arabic and foreign film content looking

to explore opportunities for co-production in long-form entertainment content, co-

funding entertainment content, and commissioning projects for OTT Originals.
