Leading Dubai innovation advisory firm has partnered up with the world's oldest and most respected education consultancy.
22 March 2016, DUBAI
Leading Dubai-based innovation advisory firm SEVIA, has today announced the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) with Gabbitas Education, a revered British educational consultancy founded in 1873.
In Dubai, SEVIA has built a reputation for focusing on integrating and implementing innovation and innovation strategy and initiatives across all industries and disciplines, from the government level to corporations, to SMEs and entrepreneurs.
Commenting on the unprecedented partnership, Zabeen Ahmed, Founder of SEVIA said: "Our passion is to inspire people in this part of the world - where the leadership is so committed to innovation - to get people to dream, to create, to dare, and to take risks.
"We realised very quickly that there was a skills gap in the market for innovators, and that if we really wanted to create the next generation of Einsteins or Steve Jobs, then we would have to start working with children. And that is where we are today, rolling out innovation labs and initiatives for children as young as kindergarten age - teaching them to make decisions, analyse information, ask questions, and have the confidence to lead. With this in mind, we sought out partners that were aligned with our vision, and were committed to the same cause of holistically educating children -- and that led us to Gabbitas. Its track record of success and historic reputation speaks for itself. We are proud to now be partners and to have its team of experts on board."
Fiona McKenzie, Director of Gabbitas Education Middle East commented: "Since our founding in 1873, Gabbitas Education has been the leading global expert in independent education, working with families, teachers and schools around the world. We are excited to be working with SEVIA to develop educational initiatives for children and teachers drawing on the team's expertise in entrepreneurship and innovation. This is the future of education."
