Creators HQ, the UAE’s first headquarters for digital creators, has quickly established itself as a global hub, drawing more than 2,400 active members from 147 countries within six months of its launch.
The initiative, unveiled in January 2025 at the 1 Billion Followers Summit, is designed to position the UAE as the world’s capital of the content economy. Its next phase aims to expand the community to 10,000 creators.
Alongside individual talent, the HQ has already brought in 78 companies from 24 countries, including the United Kingdom, United States, India, Pakistan, France, and Germany. Collectively, the creators relocating to the UAE have a combined following exceeding 2.45 billion, generating millions of views across platforms.
Minister of Cabinet Affairs Mohammad Abdullah Al Gergawi said the success reflects the country’s strategy to lead the content economy and foster positive, purposeful content. He highlighted that the hub offers a platform for collaboration, skills development, and innovation across creative industries.
Backed by the Content Creators Fund, launched by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Creators HQ provides services such as Golden Visa facilitation, relocation support, and company setup. It is also set to host more than 300 events and workshops annually, strengthening the UAE’s role in shaping the global creative economy.
