Are you a Female Business Owner Wanting to grow your business? Enter TTrajectory

Dubai - Female owned licenced start-ups and SME businesses in the UAE are invited to enter TTrajectory to win a prize worth AED 700,000 and a year of business support and marketing services to drive growth and revenue and take them to a new level of success in 2022. 

TTrajectory has been created by female owned and operated independent marketing and communications  agency, TishTash, alongside agency friends and partners BSA Ahmad Bin Hezeem & Associates LLP law firm, Social Studio, Female Fusion Network, The Communication Works and Business expert and mentor Kelly Lundberg, all of whom are committed to supporting the SME and local business community of the UAE as seen with previous initiatives including SME Rise Collective, the award-winning initiative that gave over 300 businesses marketing support during Covid.  

The small business and SME community of the UAE is a major component of economic growth for the UAE.  Not only are SMEs an important contributor to the GDP of the country, but they play a major role in creating employment, supporting the economy and offer a source of creativity and innovation, developing services and capabilities never available before in the market – so supporting and nurturing them to success is essential.   

According to recent figures by Department of Economic Development about 48% of SMEs are owned by women, and most of them are sole proprietors.  Yet whilst the number of female owned businesses is good, women in business still face many challenges including lack of access to funding despite their businesses being equally or more profitable than their male counterparts. 

Committed to investing in women, TishTash and their partners aim to make a real difference to one female business with newly announced TTrajectory offering one female owned licenced business in the UAE the chance to win a significant and business changing prize worth over AED 700,000, which is as follows:

Talking about the launch of TTrajectory, Natasha Hatherall, CEO and Founder of TishTash said, “I believe in the power of the SME and as an active member of the business community of the UAE and as owner of a marketing agency with many clients, I hear the challenges that start-ups and small businesses face every day.  One of the biggest challenges remains cash flow and where to allocate precious funds, with marketing and communications being one of the most critical to business success, but yet often de-prioritised or not invested significantly enough due to budgets.  My wish is that TTrajectory can help take one local business to the next level and create a real difference in their journey.”
