Dubai Chamber partners with Knowledge Expansion for inaugural National Treasure initiative

The Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in partnership with the organization Knowledge Expansion, will host the inaugural National Treasure Initiative in Dubai on Sept. 27-28.
 
At the event, more than 30 regional business leaders known for leadership, success and visionary thinking will come together to celebrate entrepreneurship. The initiative aims to complement Dubai Chamber’s Tejar Dubai entrepreneurship development program for training creative young minds in the region.
 
“The conference, which offers attendees with strategic knowledge in management and career achievement while allowing the young generation to shift their focus from idea generation to idea execution with the help of the region’s most pragmatic leaders and visionaries who share their tried and tested insights into making dreams a reality, will help budding entrepreneurs to hone their talent in establishing their own small-to-medium-sized businesses,” Essa Al Zaabi, senior vice president at the Dubai Chamber and general coordinator of Tejar Dubai, said.
 
Panel speakers at the event will include Lubna Qassim, group chief general counsel and company secretary, Emirates NBD (PJSC); Dr. Maryam Matar, founder and chairperson, UAE Genetic Diseases Association; Dr Hayat Sindi, goodwill ambassador, UNESCO; Sarah Shuhail, general director of EWA’A Shelters for Women and Children; and Abdullatif Alsayegh, chairman of Alsayegh Media.
