Bridge Summit 2025, the world’s largest debut media event, concluded today at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre after a three-day programme.

 

The summit drew more than 60,000 participants from 132 countries and featured over 400 international speakers and 300 exhibitors across more than 300 sessions covering media, the creator economy, music, gaming, technology, marketing and visual storytelling.

 

As part of its wider agenda, the summit unveiled a comprehensive workshop programme featuring 430 global speakers across more than 300 sessions and activities.

 

Designed for creatives, entrepreneurs, CEOs, media professionals and emerging talent, the workshops offered hands-on, career-shaping training led by leading figures from the global content industry. The programme covered filmmaking, storytelling, data and insight, music, digital creativity and platform strategy.

 

The summit opened with a multilingual address by Abdulla bin Mohamed bin Butti Al Hamed, chairman of Bridge, whose remarks were delivered in seven languages through digital human and localisation systems developed by Brahma AI, an Indian enterprise. The real-time demonstration drew significant attention to India’s advancements in emerging technology.

 

“Using Brahma, what we aim to do is take a truly Indian story, produced at an unprecedented scale, and apply our technology to ensure that its performance travels seamlessly across cultures and languages,” said Brahma CEO Prabhu Narasimhan.

 

Indian participation extended across creative and technology sectors, with actor-producer Priyanka Chopra and film and OTT producer Monisha Advani among those representing the country’s expanding global footprint.

 

Delegates observed that the summit provided valuable opportunities for media houses navigating changing revenue models, creators pursuing sustainable business strategies, visual-effects studios seeking international partnerships and technology firms such as Brahma AI showcasing innovations on a global platform.
