Abu Dhabi, United Arab Emirates: Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development have announced that registration for ‘Venturist’, their highly coveted entrepreneurship summer camp, is open for the 2021 edition. The virtual summer camp will commence on July 25th and will run two separate 10-day camps, concluding on the 19th August. Venturist will be open to students from 10 to 17 years old, and will teach them essential entrepreneurship skills through specialised workshops and expert guest speakers across entrepreneurism, marketing and public relations. On completion, students will receive an official certificate of their participation.
Venturist 2021 comes following a well-received inaugural edition in 2020, where 100 students took part in an extensive entrepreneurial camp, which concluded with students pitching their business ideas to a committee of representatives and entrepreneurs with first-hand experience working alongside Khalifa Fund.
Mouza Al Nasri, Acting CEO of Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development, stated: “Khalifa Fund remain committed towards spreading the culture of entrepreneurship to the next generation of young talent who aspire to develop and grow their own enterprises. Investing into immersive programmes at a grassroots level is where a strong foundation of knowledge is built and where inspiration is grown. Therefore, Khalifa Fund are consistently producing workshops, programmes and initiatives alike that create an environment which empowers youth to think ahead and understand the business world from an early age.”
She added: “The next generation of entrepreneurs will be the ones to continue the growth of the UAE’s SME sector and further diversification of our non-oil economy. I look forward to seeing the growth in capabilities and skills in all our Venturist students through the camp activities, while they explore the many prosperous and rewarding opportunities available in the private sector.”
Venturist will include a vast array of workshops which will equip students with a diverse set of entrepreneurial skills, such as: innovation and invention, logo design, marketing, promotion, prototyping, budget and finance, and business plan development.
The Venturist Entrepreneurship Summer Camp will initially open up to 100 hopeful students who meet specific criteria, with a potential of another 100 students being accepted depending on demand.
