Entrepreneur Maryam Al Hussaini won first place in the third edition of Pearl Quest 2026, organised by the Sharjah Businesswomen Council, for her project Tabi Aman, a smartwatch designed to help families feel safer.
Al Hussaini, co-founder of Tabi, said the product was inspired by a personal family experience involving her sister, Rawda. According to the announcement, a need within her own family led her to develop a product that could offer reassurance to other households.
The final round took place at YourSpace in Sharjah’s Madaar Aljada, where seven women entrepreneurs presented projects spanning technology, healthcare, family services and artificial intelligence to a judging panel.
Participants also received access to mentoring sessions and networking with investors and experts. The council provided prizes, training and guidance to help the winners develop their projects into scalable business models.
Al Hussaini said the competition highlighted not only the quality of an idea, but also its potential impact and ability to expand. Tabi Aman began as a response to a personal experience and is intended to serve families in the UAE and beyond, according to the announcement.
