International Media Production Zone
Dubai's International Media Production Zone (IMPZ) seeks to create a unique cluster environment for media production companies from across the industry value chain, and from across the world, to interact and collaborate effectively.
Catering exclusively to companies in the following industries – Graphic art, Publishing and Packaging – IMPZ is an initiative of the visionary Dubai government, under the patronage of parent company, TECOM Investments (A member of Dubai Holding).
As a master developer, IMPZ will provide an environment of growth by building key facilities, investing in infrastructure, and forming a unique free zone that incorporates industrial, commercial, residential and community service projects under its mantle. The vast complex will be housed on a territory of over 43 million square feet of land, in the heart of commercial Dubai.
The IMPZ initiative is part of Dubai's vision to develop itself into a global media hub. As such, it will provide a pro-business environment, sophisticated technology and community infrastructure to support and foster the growth of media production.
TECOM Investments
TECOM Investments develops and manages businesses that support the growth of knowledge-based industries in Dubai. Presently, TECOM has interests in five industry clusters: information and communication technology (ICT), media, education, biotechnology, and energy.
TECOM's first brand, Dubai Internet City, was established in October 2000, to support and develop a cluster for the ICT sector. Dubai Media City for the media cluster, and Dubai Knowledge Village for the education cluster, were set up in January, 2001 and October, 2003, respectively.
The phenomenal success of the publishing and broadcasting segments of the media cluster at Dubai Media City led to the launch of more specialized projects: International Media Production Zone (IMPZ) and Dubai Studio City.
To harness value from the burgeoning business process outsourcing sector, TECOM launched Dubai Outsource Zone (DOZ) in March 2004.
TECOM’s contribution to the life sciences sector is the Dubai Biotechnology and Research Park (DuBiotech).
TECOM Investments offers significant incentives for locating businesses in TECOM's business parks. Foremost is a clustered environment where businesses in the same general industry category share the same work campus. This environment puts equipment vendors, for example, next door to systems integrators in Dubai Internet City for convenient coordination. It also encourages networking, such as between advertising agencies and creative freelancers in Dubai Media City or between generalist academia and specialized training companies in Knowledge Village.
Over the last six years, TECOM has developed the largest IP infrastructure in the world and created the nucleus for a new telecommunication company, which is now the second mobile telephone operator in the UAE after Etisalat. TECOM owns 20% equity shares of this new company - Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (EITC).
TECOM is now extending its reach globally by investing in India and Malta by exporting its expertise in developing and managing knowledge-industry business clusters like Dubai Internet City. TECOM has also tied up with Dubai Investment Group (DIG) its sister company in the Dubai Holding group to make strategic telecom acquisitions. It has already successfully acquired a 35 % stake in Tunisia Telecom and 60 % of Maltacom, carriers in Tunisia and Malta respectively.
