PANEL DISCUSSION ENDED
About This Webinar
Several decades of dramatic urban transformation, investment and ambition have helped frame Dubai’s reputation as perhaps the most active and vibrant design hub in the Middle East.

But what does this really mean? How do we define this, what does it stand for and what comes next?

Reflecting on both creative and commercial dynamics of the market, four leading industry experts will provide their personal perspectives on the nature and structure of Dubai’s current design industry and culture, and how this relates to broader GCC and international markets.
Agenda
  • How would we describe Dubai’s design culture, identity and international reputation today?
  • Is the industry gradually becoming more or less international in terms of talent, projects and supply chains?
  • Where does it stand on the long path from consumer and importer to producer and exporter?
  • Which aspects of the industry may require further development and improvement?
  • What do we expect growth and investment patterns to look like over the next 5 years?
