Dubai Design District – d3
Dubai Design District – d3 was launched in 2013 by the UAE’s Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai, Sheikh Mohamed bin Rashid al Maktoum. The vision behind launching d3 is to build a tailor-made design hub that would nurture emerging local talent and the region’s creative thinkers.
The creation of d3 is an essential step as there had been a real demand for such a platform amongst the designers and creative thinkers in the region. The Middle East design industry was worth around 2.3 billion in 2014. This means the design industry has become an important part of the economy in the region and it is continuously thriving.
As a hub of creativeness, d3 gathers innovators, creative thinkers, artists, designers and inventors not only from Middle East but also from other parts of the world. For the thousands of professionals across the region, there has been a desperate need for a real, living neighbourhood that provides space, framework and opportunities for them to enhance, thrive and interact.
