She stressed that developing national entrepreneurship is a strategic priority for

the UAE and a core pillar of the country’s economic agenda, led by the Ministry of

Economy in collaboration with government entities, the private sector, and

academic and research institutions. She outlined new initiatives designed to
enhance the country’s competitiveness and increase entrepreneurs’ success

rates from 30 percent to 50 percent over the next decade.

Key initiatives include Riyada Fund, which allocates AED300 million to support

entrepreneurial ventures, and the UAE Entrepreneurship Council, which aims to

unify national efforts to accelerate SME growth and strengthen collaboration
between key stakeholders. She encouraged entrepreneurs and startups to

leverage these enablers and incentives, along with the Future100 initiative.

Sarah Shaw highlighted that companies within the initiative were among the first to
receive the Sustainable Impact Project Seal from Majra, recognising their

commitment to sustainability and social impact. She noted a 43 percent increase

in sustainability and environment-focused startup applications under Future100,

reflecting the maturity of the UAE’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and alignment with

the UAE Green Agenda 2030.
