The launch event recently occurred at the 1 Billion Followers Summit 2025 in the Emirates Towers and offers services like help with attaining the UAE Golden Visa, moving services, and workshops and mentorship options for its users.
A Hub for Content Creators
The Creators HQ is also within the framework of the UAE’s desire for continued development of the nation’s digital creation ecosystem. Organizers of the event announced that with 300 events and workshops per year, the program is aimed at developing content creation market. Members of the Creators HQ will also get assistance with company formation and registration which in return offer a channel for creators to build permanent sustainable enterprise in Dubai.
