VISION.

Globally recognized Arab creators shaping the future of entertainment through major productions and a thriving creative ecosystem

NICE TO MEET YOU!

 

 

The Middle East is a region rich in history and artistic expression, yet its potential in the digital arts—game development, animation, and architectural visualization—remained largely untapped.
 
Our founder Mahmoud Alkawadri, a passionate educator, seasoned Realtime/VFX artist and entrepreneur, saw this gap and envisioned a future where Arab creators could lead the global digital landscape. This vision ignited the spark that became NOETA Academy.
 
NOETA isn't just a training center; it's a movement, a catalyst for change, and a bridge between education and industry. We recognized that true mastery goes beyond software proficiency. It requires fostering intellectual curiosity, artistic vision, and a deep understanding of industry demands. NOETA was born to provide precisely that: "Knowledge Beyond the Senses," empowering creators to transcend technical skills and achieve true artistic brilliance.
 
The challenge was significant. Access to world-class training in these specialized fields was limited in the region. Aspiring artists faced a lack of local role models and industry connections.
 
NOETA was determined to change this narrative. Located in Dubai, at the heart of the region's burgeoning tech scene, NOETA strategically positions itself to capitalize on the UAE and Saudi Arabia's ambitious Vision 2030 initiatives, which prioritize investment in creative industries.
 
NOETA's promise: to transform the Middle East into a global powerhouse for digital creativity.
