|
Need to create right social and psychological conditions for entrepreneurship to flourish Doha - Sheikha Hanadi Al Thani has agreed to be the first board chairperson of INJAZ Qatar, a non-profit organisation committed to inspiring and preparing youth to succeed in a global economy. Sheikha Hanadi is the Founder and Chairperson of AMWALAMWAL
, Chief Executive Officer of Al Waab City Real Estate, and Deputy CEO of Nasser Bin Khaled Al Thani Holding Group. Calling for a change in the working sector, Sheikha Hanadi said, "In order to compete on a global level, the economies of the GCC states need to shift their emphasis away from traditional business enterprises and foster a spirit of pioneering entrepreneurship among regional youths. Key to the region's economic well-being is a well-planned balance between what's conceived today in the world of business and a pool of fresh creative outlook."
The development of the Arab world's human potential does not only entail providing formal education and training but also creating the right social and psychological conditions for entrepreneurship to flourish, she added.
Stuart Pearce, CEO and Director General, Qatar Financial Center (QFC)Qatar Financial Center (QFC), said, "There is an increasing need for the next generation of Qataris to consider jobs in the private sector in terms of their future careers." The QFCQFC provided seed funding for the launch of INJAZ's operations in Qatar.
Charles Moncrieff, CEO of HSBCHSBC, said, "We are delighted to join forces with Sheikha Hanadi in this highly credible programme. HSBCHSBC has been part of INJAZ in the region for more than 10 years and it is heartwarming to see that the project is so successful in Qatar since its inception in October 2007."
INJAZ has been operating across six independent schools in collaboration with the Supreme Education Council, reaching 450 students in the preparatory and secondary levels. All six schools have renewed their commitment to INJAZ for the next academic year, during which the organization will also be expanding its operations into government schools in collaboration with the Ministry of Education.
