The Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development KFED is launching tomorrow, July, 2025, the

‘Future Entrepreneur’ program to foster entrepreneurship skills among the youth aged between

people with financial management skills and building a new generation of national

entrepreneurs using tools for excellence in a practical environment under the guidance of a
committee of experts.

The program is projected to attract 5,000 participants and develop 2,500 entrepreneurial
projects and 1,000 small ventures under the ‘Future Entrepreneurs Permit’ initiative, launched

by the Abu Dhabi Registration Authority (ADRA), an arm of the Abu Dhabi Department of
Economic Development (ADDED) to develop and regulate the business 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 program aims to support participants within certain age groups to innovate, develop and
sell products and services in a realistic environment. Through this program, 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 program, enables participants to apply their acquired

skills in real markets across various key fields, such as science, technology, engineering, and
mathematics (STEM) fields, 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.’
