Dubai Media has launched the Al Bayan Center for Economic and Strategic Studies, a research platform focused on economic developments in the UAE, the wider region and global markets.
The center will produce studies, reports and forward-looking analysis that place economic data and indicators in their broader strategic context. It aims to help readers and decision-makers better understand trends affecting markets and sectors, according to the announcement.
The platform will also connect academic research with economic journalism by translating complex figures into accessible analysis. It will bring together experts, decision-makers, private-sector representatives and academics to discuss issues shaping the economy.
Launched during Dubai Media’s participation in Arab Media Summit 2026, the center will support the organisation’s News and Newspapers Unit with research-led content and data-backed coverage.
Hamed bin Karam, editor-in-chief of Al Bayan, said the initiative is intended to strengthen the media’s role in supporting a knowledge- and innovation-based economy. He added that the center will develop a sustainable research platform covering economic and strategic issues and creating space for new perspectives on future opportunities and trends.
