The Mohammed Bin Rashid Fund, MBRF, has announced a new competition as part of the ‘Careers UAE’ fair with a total prize money of AED1 million on offer for future UAE entrepreneurs. The competition named “START”, was launched under Dubai SME, an agency of the Department of Economic Development, DED, in Dubai, and aims to assist unemployed Emiratis to start their businesses and thereby promote entrepreneurship as a culture and contributor to the economy in the UAE. Altogether, there will be ten winners with each receiving AED 100,000 as prize money. The winners will be announced in May 2017.
“Dubai SME is participating in ‘Careers UAE’ as part of increasing awareness of entrepreneurship as a career option among Emirati jobseekers and extending our resources and counsel to them. We have decided to launch the competition, as it would inspire enterprising and ambitious youth to step forward and start working on launching their own projects with confidence,” commented Saeed Matar Al Marri, Fund Director and Deputy CEO of Dubai SME.
