A new investment platform dedicated to acquiring and developing music and entertainment intellectual property across the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) has launched with backing from Influence Media Partners<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n

IPNation<\/strong>, headquartered in the UAE<\/a>, describes itself as the first platform focused exclusively on Arabic music catalogs and entertainment IP. It has set a capital target of $100 million.<\/p>\n

The company was founded by Eddy Maroun<\/strong>, co-founder of MENA streaming service Anghami<\/a><\/strong>, and Jose Maria Dot<\/strong>, former chief investment officer of Abu Dhabi-listed Multiply Group, now known as Two Point Zero Group. Maroun will serve as Chairman and Chief Innovation Officer, while Dot takes the role of CEO.<\/p>\n

IPNation will invest in music masters and publishing rights, artist brands, name, image, and likeness (NIL) assets, and entertainment IP originating from the Arab world. The acquired IP will be developed into multi-format entertainment franchises.<\/p>\n

The launch follows IFPI<\/a> data showing MENA’s recorded music revenues rose 15.2% year-on-year in 2025, tying with Sub-Saharan Africa as the world’s second-fastest-growing region.<\/p>\n

\n

“For decades, Arabic music created massive cultural impact but very little long-term ownership value for the region itself,” Maroun said. “IPNation changes that. We are not only acquiring catalogs; we are building a platform that transforms Arabic IP into global entertainment franchises across music, live experiences, storytelling, gaming, AI<\/a>, and beyond.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"IPNation, a UAE-based investment platform, has launched with a $100 million target to acquire and develop Arabic music and
