(MENAFN- Dubai PR Network) United Arab Emirates, 9 April 2025: Emirates Global
Aluminium, the largest industrial company in the United Arab Emirates outside oil and gas,
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 UAE 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 per cent of the start-ups that

participated in previous editions of the programme were founded by female entrepreneurs.

EGA partners with C3 to deliver EGA Ramp-Up. C3 is UAE-based social enterprise that
supports entrepreneurs across the region to unlock their growth potential and maximise

their positive impact on the community and the environment.

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.

EGA considers Ramp-Up participants' potential as suppliers to further increase local

procurement and support the growth of promising local businesses. In 2024, EGA

announced a partnership with EGA Ramp-Up season one finalist Nadeera to launch an
innovative recycling solution in communities near the company's Jebel Ali plant.
