A ans by Monday 25 January 2016, panel of expert judges will review all submitted business plans and the best ideas will be selected to present to the panel as finalists on 2 February, with the winner(s) being announced in the middle of February.

“This initiative has been launched to help our home grown entrepreneurs develop their ideas into successful business ventures to enhance the visitor experience in Abu Dhabi and benefit the emirate.

The Fund is keen to prepare the appropriate environment for the SMEs growth and development”, said Mouza Obaid Al Naseri the Director of Entrepreneurship Development Department in Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development.
