Abu Dhabi: twofour54, the Abu Dhabi based content creation community, has launched freelance licenses for technical professionals working in the production industry.

Aimed at responding to an increased demand for freelance media professionals at twofour54, the freelance license scheme encourages creative individuals to work within twofour54's growing media ecosystem of partner companies including twofour54 intaj.

Freelance license holders will be eligible for a UAE residence visa with twofour54.

Commenting on the new freelance license framework, Tony Orsten, CEO of twofour54 said: "Media production is a project based industry which is heavily dependent on freelance talent, matching people to productions, with crews often mobilised at short notice. As home to the Arabic creative industries, the freelance license solution is an essential element of twofour54's drive to provide impetus to the production and broadcast industry in Abu Dhabi."

"We want twofour54 partner companies to be well served by a skilled community of media professionals. We have developed a robust license approach for qualified and experienced media freelancers to work at twofour54, which operates within the UAE employment and immigration laws."
