Reflecting Abu Dhabi’s growing position in the global creative economy, Madbridge Commercial Investment, an Emirati investment company, and the global studio Animotion Media Group, has signed a partnership to establish a regional entertainment hub that will bring international-quality creative production to the MENA region.
This project aims to establish a fully integrated entertainment ecosystem spanning animation, live-action, digital channels, and local distribution platforms.
