Samsung Electronics MENA, in a significant collaboration with Meta, has announced the second edition of Galaxy Circle, a creator acceleration program aimed at discovering and nurturing the most promising content creators across the Middle East and North Africa. The initiative provides a platform for young talent to elevate their skills using Samsung’s latest technology and Meta’s expansive ecosystem, with the ultimate prize being an exclusive invitation to the 2026 Galaxy Unpacked event.
A Creator Accelerator With Global Reach
Galaxy Circle is designed to empower a new generation of digital storytellers. The program invites creators aged 30 and under to turn their passion into a professional career. Shortlisted participants will be equipped with the latest AI-powered Galaxy foldable devices, enabling them to produce innovative and high-quality content.
The program is structured to reward creativity and performance at every stage. Participants will gain access to exclusive workshops, mentorship from industry leaders, and significant regional exposure through Samsung’s official social media channels. Each milestone is crafted to enhance their skills, expand their audience, and provide opportunities for professional growth.
Omar Saheb, Regional Chief Marketing Officer at Samsung Electronics MENA, stated, “This is every creators’ chance to elevate their craft and make their mark on a global stage. With access to the latest Galaxy devices, mentorship from industry leaders, and a platform to showcase their work, Galaxy Circle is an unparalleled opportunity for fresh perspectives and bold ideas to come to life!”
Strategic Partnership to Nurture Talent
The partnership with Meta is a cornerstone of the program, leveraging the social media giant’s deep expertise in the creator economy across three key areas. Meta will lead creator recruitment by identifying top-tier talent through its vast network.
Furthermore, Meta will host an in-person training workshop at its offices, offering hands-on guidance, best practices, and tailored content creation strategies. Following the workshop, Meta’s team will provide ongoing content consultation, delivering feedback to ensure the final output aligns with professional standards and campaign objectives.
“At Meta, we are committed to empowering the next generation of creators across the region,” said Alain Mayni, Head of Industries at Meta. “Through our partnership with Samsung on Galaxy Circle, we’re excited to provide creators with the tools, mentorship, and opportunities they need to unlock their full potential and reach new audiences. Together, we’re shaping a vibrant ecosystem where creativity and innovation thrive.”
The Path to Galaxy Unpacked
The grand prize for the program’s most outstanding creators is a golden ticket to Galaxy Unpacked in 2026. This offers a rare opportunity to witness Samsung’s biggest mobile launch event firsthand, joining global media and top-tier creators to experience the future of technology.
The incentive-driven program is open to all eligible creators in the region, including existing Galaxy users and those new to the ecosystem. Applications are now open on the official Samsung website.
