The Mohammed Bin Rashid Establishment for Small and Medium Enterprises has concluded the second edition of its Future Council programme in Dubai, recognising three teams for business ideas developed during the initiative.
Held from November 10 to 12 at the Dubai Entrepreneurs’ headquarters, the three-day programme brought together 50 aspiring entrepreneurs. Participants worked with sector experts, mentors and government representatives to address real-world challenges, refine their concepts and prepare presentations for a judging panel.
The D100 team, representing Commercial Bank of Dubai, won first place. Polaris, from the Mohammed Bin Rashid Space Centre, came second, while Azwa, representing Dubai Courts, took third place. The three winning teams received cash prizes, according to the announcement.
Nine government, private-sector and academic entities took part, including Dubai Culture, Dubai Police, Dubai Municipality, the General Directorate of Identity and Foreigners Affairs in Dubai, the Knowledge and Human Development Authority, and Commercial Bank of Dubai.
The initiative is part of the foundation’s efforts to support emerging Emirati entrepreneurs, promote innovation and strengthen Dubai’s entrepreneurship ecosystem in line with the Dubai Economic Agenda D33.
