Dhabi entrepreneurship festival
April 22, 2026
Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development is taking part in the first edition of the Abu Dhabi Global
Entrepreneurship Festival, where it launched a new initiative aimed at supporting business owners with faster
access to funding.
The event, held at the Abu Dhabi Energy Center from April 20 to 22, brings together entrepreneurs, investors
and industry leaders under the theme “Your Impact. Our Economy’s Pulse.”
On-the-spot funding support
As part of its participation, the Fund introduced the “Funding on the Spot” initiative, which allows
entrepreneurs to receive immediate assessments for financing during the event.
The service includes on-site advisory support, helping applicants check eligibility, prepare documents and
complete application steps.
Officials said the initiative is aimed at Emirati business owners aged 21 to 60, especially those looking to
grow or expand their businesses in sectors such as healthcare, education, agriculture, technology, tourism and
industry.
