How Fast Creators HQ Grew

Since its opening earlier this year, the numbers tell a powerful story. 2,415 active members have already joined from 147 countries

Together, these creators reach an astonishing 2.45 billion followers across digital platforms. Their videos, posts, and projects cover almost every subject you can imagine—entertainment, education, culture, social awareness, and humanitarian causes.

The impact is huge. Millions of viewers worldwide follow this community, and the content shared from Dubai is helping shape public opinion and inspire change across societies.

But Creators HQ is not just about individuals. It has also pulled in 78 international companies from 24 different countries. Many of these businesses have even moved their offices to the UAE to be closer to this fast-growing content hub. The strongest participation so far has come from the United Kingdom, the United States, India, France, and Germany.

The UAE now has a clear plan to expand further. The next target is to build a network of 10,000 creators making Dubai not just a host city, but a true global capital for the content economy.

The Vision Behind Creators HQ

The creation of Creators HQ is not accidental. It is part of a much bigger vision designed by His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum the Vice President, Prime Minister of the UAE, and Ruler of Dubai. His idea is to turn Dubai into the global capital of the creative and content economy—a place where the world’s most talented creators gather, grow, and share their work with the world.

This vision is backed by serious support. The Content Creators Fund launched earlier at the second 1 Billion Followers Summit, helps finance creative projects, new talents, and innovative ideas. It ensures that young creators and businesses have the financial and practical tools to succeed.

Mohammad Abdullah Al Gergawi Minister of Cabinet Affairs, explained that the success of Creators HQ is proof of the UAE’s ambition to lead in this field. He said that content is not just entertainment—it is one of the most powerful forces shaping the future. According to him, Dubai’s ability to bring together both creators and companies from around the world shows its strength as a hub for growth in the global content economy.
