Dubai Media City, the TECOM Group has created integrated business environments that attract
top talent from around the world. The Group has succeeded in attracting global companies and

best talents in six strategic sectors, thanks to the UAE and Dubai's state-of-the-art infrastructure,

supported by legislative and regulatory frameworks that prioritize innovation and growth.”

“TECOM Group’s media sector includes over 3,500 clients working within Dubai Media City, Dubai
Studio City, and Dubai Production City. Our goals align with forward-looking government

strategies such as ‘We the UAE 2031’ and Dubai Economic Agenda D33. We are pleased to

welcome La Liga in Dubai Media City, affirming our steadfast commitment to supporting the
Ministry of Economy’s efforts to cement the UAE’s position as a leading global destination for

creativity and innovation,” he added.

Through this project, the Ministry of Economy seeks to encourage investment in advanced

technology and digital innovations, along with the various services offered by the laboratory. The
primary objective is to enhance the protection of intellectual and creative rights within the

country, in line with the Ministry’s strategic goals of fostering leadership and competitiveness in

innovation and intellectual property rights. This initiative also aims to empower national creative
talents to utilize intellectual property applications, thereby contributing to the development of a

knowledge and innovation-driven national economy.

The Ministry of Economy has outlined plans to complete the project within 3 years in

collaboration with its partners. The Anti-Piracy Lab, which will be established in Dubai Media City,
will be similar to the La Liga’s Anti-Piracy Lab in Madrid. The lab will utilize cutting-edge

technological and digital tools to detect, analyze, and remove illegally used audiovisual content,

adhering to industry best practices. Dubai was chosen due to its collaborative efforts with
relevant government bodies to formulate policies promoting creative industries and safeguarding

intellectual property rights. The city also contributes to the development of a legal and regulatory

framework that supports innovation and creativity in the media industry.
