Emirates supports UAE’s entrepreneurs

EMIRATES HAS SIGNED a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Sharjah Entrepreneurship Centre (Sheraa) to strengthen and expand the entrepreneurship ecosystem in the UAE.

The agreement makes Emirates an official Strategic Partner of Sheraa, offering discounted fares to and from its network of more than 90 destinations for the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival and startups relocating to the UAE through Sheraa’s global soft-landing offering that provides an incentive package to facilitate entry for tech startups.

To date, Sheraa has supported 114 startups that have gone on to generate more than US$125 million in revenue, raised more than $74 million in investment and created 1,300-plus jobs.

Emirates has been supporting the UAE’s innovation ecosystem, young entrepreneurs and students since 2016 when it partnered with GE and Etisalat to launch Intelak – an incubator for an innovative pipeline of ideas and initiatives for Dubai’s travel and aviation industry.
