The Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center (Sheraa) has taken a significant new stride in advancing entrepreneurship
across the region by convening its newly appointed Board of Advisors under the leadership of Sheikha Bodour

In its ongoing mission to position Sharjah as a leading center for innovation and entrepreneurship, Sheraa has
formed a 17-member Board of Advisors composed of visionary leaders from government, industry, academia,

The inaugural meeting was also attended by H.E. Najla Al Midfa, Vice Chairperson of Sheraa as well as Sara Al
Nuaimi, CEO of Sheraa, who outlined the strategic agenda for the upcoming term. This gathering of thought-
leaders and influential industry heads highlights Sheraa’s clear and passionate commitment to accelerating the
development of entrepreneurship in Sharjah and the wider region.

Sheikha Bodour said: ‘As we embark on this next phase of growth with our new board, I’m filled with optimism
for Sheraa’s future. We’re privileged to be supported by such a highly accomplished group, whose expertise,
dedication, and vision will further elevate Sheraa as the most dynamic regional hub for new business founders.
Together, we’ll continue to foster innovation, resilience, and sustainability within Sharjah’s entrepreneurial
ecosystem, ensuring that our startups thrive and compete with the best in local and global markets.’
