Dubai, UAE – [July 25, 2025] – CoProduction Salon, the leading platform for fostering co-production partnerships and investment opportunities to and from the Arab world, proudly announces its return to MIPCOM Cannes for the second consecutive year — this time with a more prominent presence at the MIP Creative Hub overlooking the Cannes beachfront. Taking place from October 13-16, 2025 at the Palais des Festivals, Cannes, this participation reinforces CoProduction Salon’s mission to connect Arabic producers and investors with global partners to create compelling, marketable content for international audiences.

“CoProduction Salon was created to bridge worlds — bringing Arabic production houses and investors together with international partners to create meaningful, marketable content. MIPCOM gives us the stage to make more of those connections happen,” said Heba Korayem, Founder of CoProduction Salon.

Why It Matters?

The MENA region’s content industry is experiencing an unprecedented boom, with optimistic figures that are hard to ignore. According to a recent Omdia report, the region’s VOD market is projected to grow fivefold by 2029, reaching $8.4 billion. Meanwhile, global demand for Arabic content is surging, with Saudi Arabia, Morocco, and Iraq witnessing growth of 400%, 300%, and 200% respectively since 2020, according to Parrot Analytics.

CoProduction Salon plays a critical role in connecting this vibrant market with global distributors, broadcasters, and financiers. Over the past two years, the platform has facilitated signed partnership deals worth over $12 million between producers, investors, and distributors.

What’s New in 2025?

At this year’s MIPCOM, CoProduction Salon will introduce:

• The MENA CoProduction Guidebook (2025 Edition) – A comprehensive industry report highlighting trends, data, and opportunities for investing in and collaborating within the Arabic media landscape, distributed at MIPCOM
• Exclusive Networking Power Hour – Curated in-person and virtual networking sessions connecting Arabic producers with international financiers, distributors, and broadcasters.
• Virtual Networking Lounge – Year-round access to an online platform that provides data, connects industry professionals and highlights advanced projects beyond the exhibition floor.
