UAE launches initiative to tranform media industry
Abu Dhabi will host the BRIDGE summit in December, uniting thousands of media professionals to shape the future of the industry. The UAE National Media Office has introduced BRIDGE, an initiative aimed at empowering media professionals, fostering innovation and promoting responsible journalism in the digital era. Operated by the non-profit BRIDGE Foundation, the initiative seeks to build a dynamic, inclusive media ecosystem that supports collaboration and ethical storytelling. The launch event, led by H.E. Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Butti Al Hamed, Chairman of the UAE National Media Office, alongside H.E. Dr. Jamal Mohammed Obaid Al Kaabi and Richard Attias, Founder & Chairman of Richard Attias & Associates, brought together top journalists, publishers, investors and thought leaders. Their shared mission: to shape the future of media through strategic action and innovation. H.E. Abdullah bin Mohammed bin Butti Al Hamed said: 'Media is the pulse of a thriving society. It informs and inspires us, it shapes global perceptions and influences international dialogues, and it connects cultures from around the world. By convening the brightest minds from across the global media landscape, this initiative will empower the next generation of storytellers, invest in ethical AI, champion press freedoms, and ensure that authenticity and integrity remain at the core of our industry.' As AI-driven disruptions reshape the media landscape, BRIDGE aims to serve as a global hub for thought leadership, technological advancements and investment. It will equip media professionals with the tools and networks needed to navigate digital transformation. Richard Attias added: 'This platform is built on the belief that partnerships, not silos, will define the future — particularly when it comes to media. The media is not just a witness to history; it is a force that shapes it.' BRIDGE functions as a year-round platform for engagement, collaboration, and action, culminating with the world's largest and most influential gathering of media in Abu Dhabi on December 8-10, 2025. H.E. Dr. Jamal Mohammed Obaid Al Kaabi commented: 'BRIDGE is designed to tackle the most pressing challenges of our industry and deliver real-world solutions. It is not just about dialogue—it is about economic opportunity. At our flagship December conference, the BRIDGE Showcase and Marketplace will be a launchpad for startups, a deal-making hub for investors, and a catalyst for business collaboration.' Further details on BRIDGE's strategic roadmap will be announced later this year in Abu Dhabi.
