The Dutch MENA Alliance connects cultural and creative industries across the Netherlands and the MENA region — from film and music to visual arts, design, and digital storytelling.
It brings together artists, content creators, producers, and organizations working in all forms of contemporary art and culture.

Our first major initiative is the Dutch Pavilion at Red Sea Souk 2025, uniting Dutch companies and creative professionals who are open to co-production, cultural exchange, and long-term collaboration with partners across the Arab world.

The Alliance acts as a bridge fostering dialogue, co-creation, and shared artistic innovation between Europe and the Middle East.
