“Due to the current circumstances, we has an opportunity to rethink the programmes and support we provide to society. As the UAE works to encourage innovation, research, and business growth, supporting our local entrepreneurs is a necessary action, as we seek to further develop the important role they play in our economy.
“Through the Open Minds program, we are steering towards unlocking the endless potential of our citizens and residents. As the culture of entrepreneurship and small business ownership continues to blossom, we look forward to encouraging a new generation of independent innovators fuelled by a spirit of creativity and ambition. ”
DCT Abu Dhabi is operating closely with suppliers and partners, both locally and in the GCC region, in order to present entrepreneurs with the essential support and guidance.
