Plans to create a media city in Beirut, that were recently launched by Kuv Capital, are still moving ahead steadily, with the date for the first open discussion scheduled for April 29th 2009 at 6:30PM in Beirut. It will be at GEM – Beirut, Gemeyzeh, St. Nicolas Stairs.
This first open discussion will be to get more people involved and giving their opinions and suggestions, and to brainstorm on services the community thinks should be available at the Beirut Media City, among other things.
People interested in attending the event can register for it on EventBrite here: Beirut Media City First Open Discussion.
In the mean time, they are also still looking for places for the media city, and ask people to suggest any old buildings they think could be refurbished anywhere around Beirut.
They’re also in discussions with architects (both young talents, as well as big names) to work on the project.
Talks are also ongoing with international companies who could be interested in working out of this future Media City.
A site has been launched to follow the developments of the project at: beirutmediacity.info
If you want to be involved in any way or help in growing this project, you can contact Kuv Capital at: info@kuvcapital.com
Update: The open discussion will be taking place at GEM – Beirut, Gemeyzeh, St. Nicolas Stairs.
Very interesting and looking forward to hearing the outcome.
