The BRIDGE Roadshow continues its global journey, with Shanghai hosting the latest stop in a series of high-level gatherings focused on the future of media and communication.

Following successful events in New York, London and Osaka, the Shanghai edition brought together leaders from media, technology, business and public policy to explore how innovation and cultural influence are reshaping global narratives.

The event sets the stage for the BRIDGE Summit 2025, taking place in Abu Dhabi from December 8 to 10, set to be the world’s largest platform for media and creative content leaders.

Abdulla bin Mohammed bin Butti Al Hamed, Chairman of the National Media Office and the UAE Media Council, highlighted China's dynamic media and cultural presence and emphasised the need for a global media vision rooted not just in technology, but in responsibility and purpose.

He added that each stop of the Roadshow reflects the UAE’s commitment to building more inclusive and balanced global media perspectives.

Insights from these roadshows will help shape the agenda for the upcoming BRIDGE Summit in Abu Dhabi.
