H.E. Hisham Al Shirawi, 2nd Vice Chairman, Dubai Chamber, and Head of Tejar Dubai Selection Committee Panel, said that Enatni addresses the need for practical and valuable information on business ventures launched and owned by UAE nationals, adding that the platform can support public-private sector collaboration in the future.
Abdullah Al Zaabi, Founder of Enatni, said he expects the number of projects listed on the app to reach 5,000 by the end of this year, and revealed that 5 permanent job opportunities were created to build and manage the platform.
Al Zaabi praised the support provided by H.H. Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice President and Prime Minister of the UAE and Ruler of Dubai, to young Emirati entrepreneurs which has enabled them to realise their potential and contribute to the emirate’s private sector and economy.
