MediaCity Mauritius, the forthcoming world-class African hub for the media, digital and creative industries, is set to begin in 2022. The first phase of development works will be commissioned in 2022 and the rest of the project planned to be rolled out by 2024.
MediaCity Mauritius is poised to be the gateway for Africa for creative and commercial potential, attracting world-class industry
players. It is designed to be the headquarters for global media, production, video gaming and e-Sports companies, as well as creative and communications agencies and broadcasters. This will also pave the way for the continent to generate its own content and other creative entertainment related platforms. .
MediaCity will host cutting-edge media infrastructure and industrial tools, and the technology required for content creation, innovation and education. It is located within the rapidly expanding smart city of Beau Plan in Mauritius. Production studios, post-production facilities, broadcasting centers and an exclusive data center, all built to world-leading standards will be located in the complex. It will host the MediaCity School, which will impart media excellence via technical training in all aspects of the creative industries.
By providing the platform to connect global industry players with the massive emerging African market, the advent of this hub will
revolutionize the value chain of audiovisual, digital and cultural production in the continent.
