Abdullah Bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy, said: “As we strive to position the UAE as a premier
global hub for entrepreneurship by 2031, Sharjah is set to contribute significantly to the
achievement of this goal thanks to its startup ecosystem’s strengths in future sectors.
The emirate’s status as a thriving entrepreneurial hub was once again underlined by the 2024
Global Startup Ecosystem Report (GSER) that ranked Sharjah 4th in the GCC, and 7th in the MENA
region’s startup ecosystem rankings. The support offered by Sheraa to enterprises, including talent
and capability building, mentoring, start-up incubation and wide-ranging market access, has
contributed tremendously to this success.”

Dr. Amna Bint Abdullah Al Dahak, Minister of Climate Change and Environment said: “It’s an honour
to join Sheraa’s Board of Advisers and have the opportunity to contribute to the UAE’s thriving
entrepreneurship ecosystem.

I would like to thank Her Excellency Sheikha Bodour Bint Sultan Al Qasimi for having me on onboard
and commend her efforts in leading Sheraa to new heights. Innovation and entrepreneurship can
help forge effective climate solutions and as an entrepreneurship platform, Sheraa can support and
nurture startups that focus on environmental sustainability and climate resilience as well as raising
climate awareness.

I look forward to more projects offering climate friendly solutions and addressing critical challenges
such as clean energy, biodiversity loss, securing food systems, waste management among others,
leading the UAE towards a sustainable future.”
