The DMC is administered by TECOM Investments, a Dubai-based corporation and a subsidiary of Dubai Holdings that focuses on the information sector. The DTMFZA, now renamed the Dubai Creative Clusters Authority (DCCA), governs the DMC. Collective synergy has been achieved at Dubai Media City by businesses of all kinds, from media and marketing services to printing and publishing, to music and film, to new media, and to entertainment.
