The event brings together over 11,000 participants from 100 countries, including key television channels, production companies, and global providers of entertainment content. Qatar Media Corporation’s participation in MIPCOM 2024 aims to strengthen Qatar’s media presence on the international stage, showcasing the capabilities of its media institutions in television and entertainment production. This initiative aligns with QMC’s broader strategy of reinforcing Qatar’s presence in global forums and advancing the development of cultural and creative content.

The MIPCOM 2024 exhibition provides a valuable platform for Qatar Media Corp to engage with leading global producers and distributors. The Corp is set to hold a series of high-level meetings with executives from major TV channels and production companies. These discussions will explore potential collaborations for new programme and series productions, while also presenting opportunities to sell broadcasting rights for some of QMC’s most successful programmes in international markets.
In a move to further enhance Qatari media presence, Qatar’s Media City will also participate in the QMC pavilion, opening up avenues for increased international co-operation in content production and distribution.
