(MENAFN- Mid-East Info) 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 6 and 18. The key
objectives of the program includes fostering innovation, empowering young 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.'

Her Excellency Mouza Obaid Al Nasri, CEO of the Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development, said,“The Future Entrepreneur
program is a testament to our wise leadership's progressive vision to support young talents, investing in programs 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 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.”
