King Abdullah Financial District
Riyadh
A new CEA campus in partnership with the Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC)
The Riyadh Creative District (RCD) is a fully integrated ecosystem that drives content creation, nurtures talent, and champions cultural exchange, bringing Riyadh’s creative ideas and intellectual property to the world.
Located at the King Abdullah Financial District (KAFD) in Riyadh, RCD is home to a growing community of local creators and global creative leaders from multinational corporations, creative start-ups, cultural institutions, and academic organizations. It brings together the key sectors of Media, Media Technology, and Culture within one dynamic environment—serving as a launchpad for original content, investment opportunities, and cross-sector collaboration—in line with the goals of Saudi Vision 2030.
The Royal Commission for Riyadh City (RCRC) is the organization entrusted with shaping the future of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia’s capital, and guiding its transformation into one of the world’s most livable, competitive, and sustainable cities. Through its strategic programs and partnerships, it is working to enhance every aspect of urban life – from mobility, environment, and culture, to business and innovation – ensuring that Riyadh continues to serve as a dynamic engine of the Saudi Vision 2030.
Established in 1974 under the name the “High Commission for the Development of Arriyadh”, the organization was renamed the “Riyadh Development Authority” in 2018 and subsequently became the “Royal Commission for Riyadh City”.
