The Mohammad Bin Rashid Establishment for Young Business Leaders on Tuesday honoured 21 young entrepreneurs, including eight in special categories, at a gala ceremony at the Dubai World Trade Centre.

A large number of dignitaries, top government officials and prominent businesspersons attended the ceremony.

Abdul Baset Al Janahi, CEO of Mohammad Bin Rashid Establishment for Young Business Leaders, hailed the support offered by the Dubai government to the SME sector. He said the Dubai government has led by example in creating the right environment for small companies conducive to the growth of their businesses locally and expansion regionally.

Al Janahi said: “Today’s winners in various categories stand testimony to their own creative entrepreneurial capabilities that were nurtured by the unstinted support from the country’s leadership. The growing awareness about the small and medium sector’s role as a key driver of the local economy will encourage more youngsters to start their own business operations.”

The Mohammad Bin Rashid Awards for Young Business Leaders is an annual event honouring excellence among local and Arab entrepreneurs.
