Black Dragon Capital Enhances Media Technology Influence at FOMEX 2026

Black Dragon Capital℠, a renowned investment firm dedicated to pioneering disruptive technologies, is making significant strides to solidify its media technology expertise at the upcoming Future of Media Exhibition (FOMEX) 2026. This event, slated to take place from February 2-4 in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, represents a pivotal opportunity for collaboration and innovation in the media sector.

Louis Hernandez, Jr., the Founder and CEO of Black Dragon Capital, is set to share insights at the 5th Saudi Media Forum, where he will lead a session entitled "The Media Technology Landscape: Mapping Influence and Leading Transformation." This session aims to explore the ongoing digital transformation within the media industry and emphasize how innovation could forge new opportunities, with highlights drawn from Hernandez's latest publication, Digital Tsunami.

With its solid track record in the region, Black Dragon Capital is keen to leverage its portfolio companies—Grass Valley and Digital Joy—to enhance its strategic partnerships. Grass Valley is a leader in media technology, providing solutions that cater to over 90% of the top media brands globally. The presence of Grass Valley's CEO, Jon Wilson, and Chief Strategy Officer, Stephanie Sanchez, at FOMEX showcases Black Dragon's commitment to innovation in media production.

Digital Joy brings a unique perspective to the exhibition, offering cloud-based solutions that place storytelling at the forefront of digital transformation. As both firms collaborate on this stage, they aim to strengthen their ties with regional media organizations and work towards fulfilling the Saudi Vision 2030 goals.

At the High-Level Media Roundtable, Black Dragon Capital will address pressing global media issues and examine the investments that Saudi Arabia is making to energize key industries, including Media and Entertainment, FinTech, Digital Commerce, and Cybersecurity. This discourse underlines Black Dragon's focus on fostering economic stability and innovation within those sectors.

Hernandez is no stranger to the Middle East, having actively engaged with stakeholders for over 15 years. He has been instrumental in shaping strategies for notable media and technology entities, and aims to continue that momentum by facilitating meaningful discussions at events across the region. His enthusiasm about returning to Riyadh underscores his dedication to local communities and the broader vision for media development in Saudi Arabia.

"We are excited to be back in Riyadh! The Black Dragon team is deeply committed to the communities we serve globally, which is why we have made it our priority to strengthen our partnerships with many of the regional media organizations and leadership at the Saudi Broadcast Authority (SBA)," said Hernandez.

As Black Dragon Capital continues to reinforce its role within the media landscape of the Middle East, it remains focused on presenting actionable strategies that drive collaboration and success in the region.

In addition to his speaking engagement, Hernandez's book, Digital Tsunami, which discusses the far-reaching effects of digital advancements on various industries, can be found on Amazon, ensuring that thought leadership in media and technology is accessible to all who seek to understand the rapidly evolving environment.

Black Dragon Capital’s deep-seated commitment to enhancing technological foundations that support economic growth is evident. By collaborating closely with companies like Grass Valley and Digital Joy, Black Dragon Capital is dedicated to facilitating innovative solutions that can elevate the media landscape in Saudi Arabia and beyond.
