Boosting Dubai’s SME Ecosystem: Al-Futtaim Health Steps Up!
Al-Futtaim Health, the healthcare arm of the Al-Futtaim Group, has entered into an exciting new partnership with the Mohammed Bin Rashid Establishment for Small and Medium Enterprises Development. This collaboration, which is part of the Dubai Department of Economy and Tourism, aims to provide SMEs in Dubai with greater opportunities for growth, visibility, and success. It’s a strong step forward in supporting local businesses while aligning with the UAE’s long-term vision for an inclusive and equitable healthcare system.
The core of this partnership focuses on expanding market access for SMEs by giving them more opportunities to participate in Al-Futtaim Health’s tender processes. This means that SMEs in the healthcare sector can now look forward to being listed as suppliers and included in procurement opportunities, helping them secure more business and take their operations to the next level. Additionally, SMEs will benefit from discounted rates on facilities such as retail spaces and exhibition halls, further boosting their visibility and allowing them to grow in a competitive market.
The collaboration is more than just an opportunity to increase business. It aims to streamline tender processes and make procurement simpler and more efficient, not only for Al-Futtaim Health but also for the SMEs involved. By ensuring that SMEs can easily meet the required standards, this partnership fosters long-term, mutually beneficial relationships between the healthcare provider and local businesses.
Dr. Haider Al Enzi, Managing Director of Al-Futtaim Health, expressed enthusiasm about the agreement, stating, “This collaboration with Dubai SME marks a significant step towards strengthening the SME ecosystem in Dubai. We are dedicated to supporting the growth of local businesses and believe this partnership will create valuable opportunities for both SMEs and Al-Futtaim Health.”
On the other side of the partnership, Abdul Baset Mohammed Al Janahi, CEO of Dubai SME, highlighted the broader impact of this collaboration: “The cooperation between Dubai SME and Al-Futtaim Health is a major milestone in enhancing the competitiveness of Dubai’s SME sector. By providing an ecosystem that encourages innovation and streamlines access to private sector opportunities, we are reaffirming our commitment to making Dubai a global hub for entrepreneurial excellence.”
This partnership aligns with Dubai’s vision of empowering SMEs and elevating their role in the local economy. For Al-Futtaim Health, it’s not just about procurement—it’s about building a sustainable, thriving business environment in Dubai, where local enterprises can grow and succeed. This collaboration stands as a prime example of how private sector giants like Al-Futtaim can play a pivotal role in nurturing the SME landscape and contributing to the future of Dubai’s economy.
This is a win-win for everyone involved. It provides SMEs with the tools and opportunities to thrive, while Al-Futtaim Health gains access to innovative, local suppliers. Keep an eye out for more developments as this partnership unfolds!
