The Abu Dhabi Global Entrepreneurship Festival has launched the Young Emirati Traders award, under the patronage
of Sheikha Rawdha bint Nahyan bin Zayed Al Nahyan, as a strategic step aimed at empowering children and youth

while fostering a culture of entrepreneurship across the UAE.

The award is designed to nurture a new generation of entrepreneurs by instilling core values such as innovation,
responsibility, financial awareness, and independence from an early age, while equipping participants with practical

skills that enable them to transform ideas into real ventures.

Developed in collaboration with the Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development, the award reflects a shared

commitment to supporting young national talents and providing them with a structured platform to explore
entrepreneurship in an engaging and impactful way.
