Participation Criteria

All international media entities are welcome to participate at the Co-Production Salon.

To be eligible you must have a genuine interest in the MENA Region, aware of both the opportunities and the limitations related to distribution, censorship, or politics.

If you are unfamiliar with the region and wish to evaluate the market first, consider acquiring a MENA Content Market & Distribution report from HConsult.

Production companies or independent producers must demonstrate a production track record: at least one full series or movie streamed or aired on a major platform or TV network.

Content creators who only produced social media content (YouTube, Facebook, Instagram, etc.) are not eligible at this time, but may reach out for future opportunities.

If you are pitching project(s), each project must be at least 10% funded before entering the Salon.

Platforms, TV networks, advertisers, and independent investors are welcome to participate.

Please complete all sections of the form to ensure you only receive relevant meeting opportunities.

Advertisers and brand representatives interested in product placement can search for the perfect brand alignment and seamless integration opportunities.

Select profiles gain privileged access to projects at various production stages, including insights on projected audience/distribution to evaluate reach.

Tech vendors, localization companies, and other service providers are welcome, but only get access to advertising slots, not the matchmaking service.

Pre-approval is required before submitting meeting requests to ensure the other party is interested in the service pitch.

If you believe your company meets all criteria but was still rejected, please contact us.
