With the Middle East media and entertainment market expected to grow at a CAGR of

12.79% over the forecast period 2021 – 2026; the region remains one of the most

appealing for the filmed content, broadcast, and satellite industries. At present, the
region is rapidly transitioning from a content consumption market to a content creation

hub. More regional productions are moving into the entertainment and distribution

market, which is expected to be worth nearly USD 70 billion by 2026.

CABSAT is 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. The previous edition's highlights included the presence of

representatives from Twitter, Metta, Dubai Media City, Saudi Media Rating Company,

and Disney Plus.

CABSAT 2023 and New Additions

CABSAT 2023 will welcome back the Content Congress, which will celebrate and
engage with the creator economy, and the SATEXPO Summit, where leading industry

experts can discuss how sustainable space exploitation can be spearheaded.

Similarly, NextUp, which also returns in 2023, offers a platform for start-up innovators

in the media, entertainment, and satellite industries, while NextGen Content features
an exclusive viewing area for the region’s biggest content buyers to witness the work

of the region’s best content creators in innovative new formats.
