Futura at the UAE Creative Industries Session in Dubai

On November 15, Futura took part in the session “Collaboration in Creative Industries: Opportunities in Animation and Video Games”, held as part of the World of Opportunities International Business Forum at The Ritz-Carlton, Dubai.

​

The session brought together leaders from across the creative sector — from animation studios and game developers to government representatives, accelerators, and cultural hubs.

​

Alexandra Kurdyumova, co-founder of Futura Digital, joined the panel to share insights on legal and tax frameworks in the UAE and discuss the challenges and opportunities for relocated studios and cross-border production.

​

The discussion focused on:

• co-production potential in animation and games
• cross-cultural storytelling and local content
• talent development and education initiatives
• the role of creative clusters in Moscow, Sharjah, and Abu Dhabi
• government support and public–private collaboration

​

It was a vibrant and timely conversation about how creative industries can become a true bridge between cultures — and a driver of innovation, export, and growth.

​

We're proud to be part of this dialogue and excited to keep building connections between creative ecosystems across borders.
