A Vision for the Future
His Excellency Mohammed Abdullah Al Gergawi, the Minister of Cabinet Affairs, emphasized that the success of the مقر المؤثرين underscores the UAE’s position as a premier destination for influencers and experts in the content economy. This achievement is a testament to the forward-thinking vision of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, the UAE’s Vice President and Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai. Al Gergawi stated, “The content economy is a key driver in shaping the world’s future directions, and the UAE continuously strives to lead in future industries.” The goal of the مقر المؤثرين is to establish an inclusive system that supports positive and purposeful content, ultimately contributing to the growth of the global content economy.
A Hub for Creativity and Skill Development

This environment empowers them to realize their maximum potential and inspire audiences through their purposeful content.
Launched during the third edition of the “Billion Followers Summit” earlier this year, the مقر المؤثرين aims to amplify the impact of purposeful content creators while advancing the sustainability and future prospects of the content economy. It is a realization of the “Content Creators Support Fund,” initiated by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed, to support talents and innovative ideas within the digital content sector.

The hub aims to attract and support influencers and content creators across various social media platforms, audio content providers, visual artists, advertising agencies, and brands in various sectors including fashion, lifestyle, and technology.
In its pursuit of building a modern creative industries ecosystem, the مقر المؤثرين also targets technology companies, from social media platforms to gaming firms and those in virtual and augmented reality, as well as startups in artificial intelligence and machine learning.
