MCQ and Euronews Join Forces, Fostering Talent and Industry Growth

Launching a landmark collaboration, Media City Qatar and French television news network, Euronews, entered a strategic partnership in February 2021. Under the agreement, Euronews established a regional office at MCQ, offering high-quality training programs and locally-produced content for all ages. This partnership underscores MCQ’s commitment to supporting media and technology companies as they flourish and expand, positioning Qatar as a leader in the ever-evolving media landscape. MCQ aims to boost creative talent in Qatar and the region through strategic partnerships, making the country a prime investment destination for media and affiliated industries.

Qatar's Home for the Media Community

While MCQ was created as a collaborative home for talent, innovation, and achievement in the media industry, the Qatar Free Zones focuses on promoting foreign investment and providing a platform for commercial, industrial, and technological businesses to operate in Qatar.

Both entities share a common goal of positioning Qatar as a leader in the regional and global arena, yet MCQ maintains its distinct identity as the country’s sole comprehensive home for the media community. MCQ is a media regulator, developer, and investor, driving the growth and development of Qatar's media industry.
