- Media Panel 9 December 3:15 - 3:40PM
Mobilising Capital for a Future Media Ecosystem
As the world’s information systems fragment and distrust rises, media is no longer just entertainment – it is strategic future infrastructure. Capital is shifting to hubs that combine innovation, regulatory clarity, talent mobility, and global cultural exchange. Dubai, Singapore, and Latin America are no longer “emerging” – they are designing the systems that will govern the future of content, trust, and participation. This panel examines how forward-looking governments and investors can partner to unlock next-gen media ecosystems powered by AI, immersive storytelling, and cross-border creative talent – ensuring media remains competitive, inclusive, and resilient.
