The regional office will deliver onsite trainings and will work closely with local universities to offer lectures, mentoring and internships through teams of experts both in Doha and Lyon, where the Euronews headquarters are located.

Chief Executive Officer of Media City Qatar Mohamed Badr al-Sada said this step was important to establishing Media City as an important player in the industry, putting it on the map as a destination for media institutions and technology companies.

“We aspire to sign more strategic partnerships of this kind and hope that this will lead to greater development in the media sector throughout the region,” said Al-Sada.
