Dubai Future Foundation to foster entrepreneurship through universities

H.H. Sheikh Hamdan bin Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Crown Prince of Dubai, has approved a new strategy whereby Dubai universities could empower students to become entrepreneurs.

The new strategy, prepared by the Dubai Future Foundation in collaboration with other government entities allows students to carry out business and creative activities within the free zones set up within universities.

H.H. Sheikh Hamdan said, “As we approve the strategy to create economic and creative free zones in universities, we set in motion a revolutionary plan that will assist students to realise their dreams in becoming the young successful business leaders of the future.”

The initiative is in line with Dubai’s vision to become “a leading global hub for entrepreneurship and investment in knowledge.” and will support university students to pursue their ambitions, experiment with their ideas and get the support they need in terms of education research and funding.
