MD Local Global Launches Cultural RWA Initiative Integrating Historic Fernie Castle, Global Animation IP and Immersive Cultural InfrastructureMarch 11, 2026 8:30 AM
PR Newswire (US)

LONDON, March 11, 2026 /PRNewswire/ -- MD Local Global Ltd., a London-based cultural development company, today announced the launch of a Cultural Real World Asset (RWA) initiative designed to integrate historic cultural infrastructure, original animation intellectual property, and immersive cultural experiences into a unified cultural asset framework.The initiative forms part of the company's long-term strategy to develop Fernie Castle in Scotland into an international center for animation, narrative arts, and immersive cultural experiences.Unlike conventional RWA initiatives that primarily focus on financial assets or real estate, MD Local Global's Cultural RWA framework seeks to connect multiple layers of real-world cultural value — including heritage architecture, creative intellectual property, and experiential cultural programming — within a single long-term cultural ecosystem.The initiative represents one of the first attempts to structure a cultural infrastructure project combining heritage architecture, animation intellectual property and immersive cultural experiences within a Real World Asset framework.Cultural RWA FrameworkAt the core of the initiative is the development of a three-layer cultural asset structure.The first layer consists of physical cultural infrastructure. This includes the historic Fernie Castle estate in Scotland, which MD Local Global is developing into an international animation and narrative arts museum. The broader cultural complex will also include immersive exhibition environments and a large-scale Oriental Garden landscape inspired by Eastern aesthetics and philosophy.The second layer centers on creative intellectual property emerging from the company's animation initiatives. MD Local Global is collaborating with internationally recognized European animation partners to develop original animated works inspired by classical Eastern mythological and philosophical traditions.The third layer encompasses the long-term cultural operating ecosystem surrounding the site, including exhibitions, cultural programming, educational initiatives, and visitor-based experiences.Together, these three components form an integrated cultural asset platform that may support new approaches to long-term cultural financing associated with Real World Asset frameworks.Animation and Global Creative CollaborationAnimation plays a central role in the cultural ecosystem being developed under the Cultural RWA initiative.MD Local Global is currently collaborating with leading European animation studios and internationally recognized creative talent on a series of animation projects inspired by classical Chinese literature and philosophy.Among these initiatives is an animated short film inspired by the Chinese literary classic *Journey to the West*, produced in collaboration with Spanish animation studio Abano Producións. The short film is also being developed as the creative foundation for a potential feature-length animated adaptation.The project is directed by internationally acclaimed animation filmmaker Isabel Herguera, with a screenplay by interdisciplinary filmmaker and composer Gianmarco Serra and visual development by animation artist Gina Thorstensen.Abano Producións is led by Goya Award-winning producer Chelo Loureiro, whose studio recently received the 2026 Goya Award for Best Animated Feature Film for *Decorado*.In parallel, MD Local Global is also collaborating with additional European creative partners on new animation works exploring philosophical storytelling traditions and narrative experimentation.A Cultural Infrastructure ModelThe integration of cultural heritage sites, original narrative intellectual property, and immersive visitor experiences reflects a broader transformation within the global creative economy.Cultural destinations increasingly serve not only as tourism landmarks but also as platforms for creative production, storytelling, and global cultural exchange.By combining heritage architecture, animation intellectual property and immersive narrative environments, the Fernie Castle initiative represents an emerging model of cultural infrastructure capable of supporting long-term creative production and international cultural engagement.Strategic and Economic OutlookThe global animation industry, immersive entertainment sector and cultural tourism economy are becoming increasingly interconnected.Narrative intellectual property often serves as the foundation for multi-platform cultural ecosystems spanning film distribution, streaming platforms, immersive exhibitions, and destination-based cultural experiences.By integrating a historic cultural site with original animation IP and immersive storytelling environments, MD Local Global believes the Fernie Castle initiative has the potential to establish a distinctive cultural platform within the international creative landscape.The Cultural RWA initiative is intended to support the long-term development of this ecosystem while exploring emerging asset-based financing frameworks capable of supporting sustainable cultural infrastructure.Strategic OutlookMD Local Global emphasizes that the Cultural RWA initiative represents a strategic development framework. Any potential digital asset structures would be implemented in accordance with applicable regulatory standards.The company views the Fernie Castle project as a multi-phase cultural infrastructure initiative expected to evolve over time — beginning with animation production and site development, and expanding into a broader international platform for animation, philosophy, and immersive cultural storytelling.By integrating historic cultural heritage, global animation talent, and emerging cultural infrastructure models, MD Local Global aims to establish a new paradigm for how cultural institutions and creative industries may collaborate in the decades ahead.About MD Local Global Ltd.MD Local Global Ltd. is a London-based cultural company dedicated to developing international animation and cultural initiatives that connect Eastern philosophical traditions with contemporary global storytelling.Forward-Looking StatementsThis announcement contains forward-looking statements within the meaning of the U.S. Private Securities Litigation Act.

MDJM highlights growing policy backing for animation and creative sectors in the UK and EuropeMarch 9, 2026 11:17 AM
IH Market News
MDJM LTD (NASDAQ:UOKA) said the animation and broader creative industries across the UK and Europe are benefiting from increasing policy support and economic importance, as governments place greater emphasis on cultural production as a driver of growth and innovation.The company noted that the UK’s creative industries are widely regarded as one of the country’s most dynamic economic sectors. According to official statistics cited in the House of Lords Library report “Creative industries: Growth, jobs and productivity,” published by the UK Parliament on January 30, 2025, the sector generated more than £124 billion in gross value added (GVA) in 2023. That figure represented over 5% of the UK’s total economic output and supported roughly 2.4 million jobs nationwide.Given the sector’s sustained contribution to the economy, successive UK governments have identified creative industries—including film, television, animation, design and digital media—as a key pillar of the country’s long-term economic strategy.



UK incentives supporting animation and screen production



Within this framework, the UK has developed one of the most structured policy environments globally for screen production and animation.Under the Audio-Visual Expenditure Credit (AVEC) system, animated films and television productions may qualify for a 39% expenditure credit on eligible production costs, subject to certification and eligibility requirements. The policy forms part of broader reforms to the UK’s creative-industry tax relief framework aimed at attracting international production while strengthening domestic creative capabilities.The UK government has also expanded incentives for visual-effects production. Beginning in 2025, qualifying UK VFX spending for film and high-end television projects can receive a 39% credit, while previous caps on eligible VFX expenditures have been removed. The measures are intended to reinforce the UK’s position as a global center for digital production, animation and visual-effects technologies.Together, these initiatives position the UK among the most competitive international destinations for animation and audiovisual development.



Scotland expanding its creative economy



Within the UK, Scotland has increasingly emphasized the creative sector as a central element of its economic and cultural development strategy.The country’s creative economy spans industries such as film, television, animation, design, video games and digital media. Collectively, these sectors contribute billions of pounds annually to the national economy while supporting tens of thousands of jobs.Public agencies including Screen Scotland and Creative Scotland have expanded initiatives to increase production capacity, nurture creative talent and strengthen infrastructure within the screen sector.At the same time, cultural venues and production facilities have become an increasingly important part of Scotland’s strategy to attract international projects and support long-term industry development.



European policy framework for animation



Beyond the UK, the animation and audiovisual sectors across Europe operate within a well-developed policy ecosystem designed to support cultural production and international cooperation.At the European level, the European Union’s Creative Europe program serves as the flagship initiative supporting audiovisual and cultural industries. The program promotes cross-border collaboration among studios, producers and cultural institutions while encouraging the global distribution of European creative works.In addition, national governments across Europe have expanded incentive schemes, co-production agreements and cultural funding programs to strengthen animation and audiovisual production. These initiatives have helped create a highly interconnected European animation ecosystem, where studios and creators frequently collaborate across borders.



Animation gaining strategic importance



The increasing policy attention toward animation across Europe reflects broader changes in the global creative economy.Animated storytelling has become a key component of the modern media landscape, spanning theatrical releases, streaming platforms, digital media and cultural programming. As demand for high-quality narrative content continues to grow worldwide, policymakers and industry groups have increasingly identified animation as both a cultural medium and a high-value economic sector.MDJM said the strengthening policy environment across the UK and Europe provides favorable conditions for the continued development of animation projects and international creative collaboration.The company believes that structured incentives, expanding public investment in cultural infrastructure and a highly interconnected European animation ecosystem will continue to support the sector’s long-term growth.Against this backdrop, MDJM said it remains confident that its strategy—combining cultural infrastructure, creative production and digital platforms—will generate long-term cultural and economic value.
