NKN Media is also now expanding its footprint in the inflight media and out-of-home (OOH) sector.
NKN Media, an integrated media powerhouse, has raised AED 35m ($9.53m) and is now set to secure an additional AED 50m ($13.61m) to drive its global expansion and develop new intellectual properties.
Marking five years in Dubai, NKN Media has solidified its status as a key player in the region’s media and events landscape. Following the success of the Dubai Property Expo, which garnered engagement in Singapore, the company is preparing for a global tour, with upcoming editions scheduled in London, Turkey, New York and Moscow.
Speaking about the global expansion, Abdul Majid Khan, Group CEO of NKN Media, said: “NKN Media is at a defining moment in its journey. Growing at an excellent pace, our expansion reflects the demand for high-quality media experiences. With our recent success, we are not only scaling our flagship events but also venturing into new markets and media verticals. As we expand, our focus remains on delivering impactful content and world-class events that drive business growth. The next phase of our expansion is about scale, innovation, and global reach.”
Looking ahead to 2025, NKN Media has a lineup of projects, beginning with the Ultimate Realty Awards on May 10. This event aims to celebrate excellence in the global real estate sector. Following the success of Icons of the UAE Season 2, the next edition is slated for September, recognising influential leaders and change-makers in the region.
Additionally, the Majlis Premium startup fundraising forum is set to debut in October. The event will provide a global platform for startups to connect with some of the biggest investors in the UAE. The show will premiere exclusively on India Today before expanding to leading OTT platforms.
Expanding its footprint in the inflight media and out-of-home (OOH) sectors, NKN Media is set to build on its success in the media industry. The company currently publishes Spice Route and, with the rising demand for premium travel content, plans to launch additional inflight magazines to engage a global audience.
