twofour54 has also brought major Hollywood, Bollywood and local productions to Abu Dhabi, creating opportunities for freelancers, SMEs and the next generation of media talent.
Abu Dhabi’s media sector has seen significant growth over the last decade. To accommodate this growth, twofour54 will be moving its community to a new home on Yas Island. Yas Creative Hub, by twofour54, will provide a home for Abu Dhabi’s media and entertainment industry. It is a purpose-built 270,000 sqm, fully-integrated and connected campus that brings the creative community together and offers world-class production facilities, talent development initiatives and business support services.
On its end, twofour54 views SMEs as the engine of creativity, job creation and innovation in media. The company provides hundreds of SME partners with the support they needneeded to kick-start and scale-up their operations. This support was particularly evident during the start of the global pandemic, with twofour54 suspending rent for up to six months for SMEs.
twofour54 is part of ADQ, one of the region’s largest holding companies with a diverse portfolio of major enterprises spanning key sectors of Abu Dhabi’s non-oil economy.
