8/21/25, 11:15 AM Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development’s Future Entrepreneur programme fosters entrepreneurial skills among youth aged 6-18
The programme took place in Nabdh Al Falah Community Hub in Al Falah City, offering participants an
opportunity to register and select their preferred pathway under the Inventor or Trader categories.

The training camp implemented a comprehensive framework for identifying promising talent, using criteria such
as innovation and problem-solving skills. Participants received expert guidance across different phases of the
programme. The camp emphasised practical learning by allowing youth to apply their skills in real-world
scenarios such as operating food kiosks and marketing STEM-based products, giving them the opportunity to test
their ideas in a simulated market environment. At the conclusion of the camp, the most outstanding projects were
selected to join the Future Builders Launchpad. This phase provides both financial and technical support to help
turn their ideas into business ventures. Graduates will also receive guidance through the ongoing mentorship
programmes, ensuring their long-term success in the broader entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The Future Entrepreneur Programme serves as a strong example of effective cross-sector collaboration in
developing youth capabilities and highlights Abu Dhabi’s dedication to empowering its citizens with the essential
skills needed for future success.
