Iraq’s creative industries have been growing rapidly in recent years, with artists, musicians, filmmakers, and writers producing innovative and thought-provoking works that reflect the country’s rich cultural heritage and diverse communities. However, despite the abundance of talent and creativity, many Iraqi artists and creatives have struggled to gain recognition and exposure for their work due to limited access to resources and opportunities.
One of the most significant challenges facing Iraq’s creative industries has been the lack of reliable and affordable internet connectivity. For many years, Iraq’s internet infrastructure was severely underdeveloped, with slow speeds, frequent outages, and limited access to online platforms and tools.
