7/4/25, 11:52 AM KFED launches ‘Future Entrepreneur’ programme to enhance entrepreneurship skills - Aletihad News Center
sector, over the next five years.

It follows a comprehensive process to select exceptional young entrepreneurs based on their eligibility, thinking
methodology, creativity, and performance.

It mainly focuses on innovative problem-solvers and young individuals with the capability to make a long-term impact

on Abu Dhabi’s economic ecosystem.

The programme aims to support participants within certain age groups to innovate, develop, and sell products and

services in a realistic environment.

Through this programme, participants will receive expert guidance and feedback, helping them reach an idea pitching

stage, where they can showcase products and services in a marketplace to promote and sell them and win awards.

The training camp, under the programme, enables participants to apply their acquired skills in real markets across

various key fields, such as science, technology, engineering, and mathematics (STEM) fields, the pre-owned goods
market, and food and beverage kiosks.

The camp will also include a stringent evaluation system to recognise exceptional talents and qualify them to be part
of ‘Builders of Future Launchpad.’

CEO of the Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development, Mouza Obaid Al Nasri, said, “The Future Entrepreneur
programme is a testament to our wise leadership’s progressive vision to support young talents, investing in

programmes to make them future leaders. Through this initiative, we aim to foster a culture of innovation among

youth and reinforce national entrepreneurship, which is one of the key pillars of the national economy and a driver of
its sustainable growth and diversification. Furthermore, we seek to offer an enabling ecosystem to transform the

aspirations of the participants into success stories at the beginning stage itself, allowing them to grow as successful

entrepreneurs and create a lasting impact across Abu Dhabi’s major sectors.”

The initiative is going to start with an opening ceremony, in "Nabd Al Falah" Centre in Al Falah City, offering
participants an opportunity to register and select their preferred pathway under the ‘Inventor’ or ‘Trader’ categories.

The selected participants can then engage in a two-week summer camp and gain practical knowledge in pricing and
brand development.
