Incubator veteran

Jaz Multimedia has been with the incubator since it began in March 2007, where it has focused on creating creative intellectual property (IP).

“We begin with an idea for a main product and type of IP,” said Jaz creative director Johari Aziz. “For example, if the main idea is a story, it can then be converted into an animation, script, visuals and so on which are creative multimedia,” he added.

For example, one of Jaz’s products is Palestine 3000 AD – a storyline which portrays Palestine in the year 3000, which may be more modern than today, while the current problems still remain.

“Incubation relieves a creative company from overheads so it can focus on being creative and I have no personal overheads of a car, a family, a mortgage and so on, so I can be successful with good ideas,” he added.

The Incubation centre is opened to seed level and start up creative multimedia development companies involved within the various petals of the creative industry such as games, animation, mobile content, post production and visual effects.
