Slated from 26 to 28 February 2019, the new market will replace DISCOP Dubai and take place at the Martim Jolie Ville Royal Peninsula Hotel & Resort in Sharm El Sheikh.
Commenting on the potential of the region, Patrick Zuchowicki Jucaud, General Manager of DISCOP Markets, said:Egypts programme to transform the country into one of the worlds fastest growing entertainment and media marketplace explains our move. With a population of 100 million, Egypt is the most populous country in the Arabic speaking world and a regional nerve center of culture and creativity. Buyers from MENA countries who are increasingly looking for homegrown content will also have a unique opportunity to tap into Egypts large reservoir of film, television and digital content.
Organisers of DISCOP Sharm El Sheikh hope to welcome 1,000+ delegates from 70 countries representing 750+ companies including 300+ content acquisition executives and 250+ content producers from Northern Africa and the Middle East, and 100+ global and regional distributors.
With Egypt at the crossroad between the Middle East and Africa, DISCOP Sharm El Sheikh will also promote partnerships and collaborations between key players from these two world regions billed as the worlds fastest entertainment and media marketplaces.
