Abdulla bin Touq Al Marri, Minister of Economy and Tourism, said that, “Under the

guidance of its wise leadership, the UAE places strong emphasis on supporting

entrepreneurial projects and empowering owners of productive and creative

ventures, recognizing them as a vital pillar of national economic growth and

competitiveness.”

Al Marri stated that the ‘Entrepreneurs from Emirati Families’ initiative aligns with

national efforts under The Emirates: The Startup Capital of the World campaign,

reflecting a collaborative approach to strengthen the UAE’s entrepreneurial

ecosystem and SME landscape.

The initiative aims to inspire Emirati talents to turn innovative ideas into sustainable,

value-creating ventures, thereby enhancing the UAE’s standing as a leading

destination for entrepreneurship and small business development.

Over the next five years, 200 families will be trained annually, with participants

receiving professional training, business development guidance, marketing support,

and technical assistance to help them launch and grow their ventures sustainably.
