ABU DHABI, 9th April, 2025 (WAM) -- Emirates Global Aluminium (EGA) today announced the
launch of the third season of EGA Ramp-Up, the company's flagship programme to empower the
next generation of UAE entrepreneurs in line with the Entrepreneurial Nation Strategy 2031.

EGA Ramp-Up, supported by the Ministry of Economy, offers expert insights, mentorship, intensive
training and networking opportunities to entrepreneurs developing impact-driven and
sustainability-focused businesses that will grow the economy and create new job opportunities.

The first two seasons of EGA Ramp-Up attracted hundreds of aspiring entrepreneurs that have
collectively created over 1,000 jobs. More than 35 percent of the start-ups that participated in
previous editions of the programme were founded by female entrepreneurs.

EGA will work with Microsoft UAE to power season three of EGA Ramp-Up through capacity-building
workshops and mentorship focused on technology-enabled strategy development and scaling.

Alia bint Abdulla Al Mazrouei, Minister of State for Entrepreneurship, said, "The Ministry of
Economy's continued partnership with EGA embodies the true essence of collaborative symbiosis.
In the past, several Ramp Up finalists have made it to the UAE's Future 100 companies list, and
similarly, several Future 100 companies have been participants in the Ramp Up Programme. This
reciprocal growth truly demonstrates the strength and value of our collaboration."
