7/7/25, 11:11 AM Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development launches ‘Future Entrepreneur' program to enhance entrepreneurship skills
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.”

The initiative is going to start with an opening ceremony, in 'Nabd Al Falah' Center 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. The program will extend over a four-week period beginning mid-July, with two extensive study
days per week. It seeks to nurture skills of young individuals in areas of idea generation, prototype development,
budget planning, storytelling and digital tools.
