She highlighted their commitment to sustainability, marked by the Sharjah Sustainability Award in 2019, aligning with SEF’s goal of promoting a sustainable future through entrepreneurship.
Ahmed Alkhoshaibi, Group CEO of Arada, said: “Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival is one of the region’s most important and powerful events, promoting innovation, collaboration and ideas that are designed to boost local economies. This long-term partnership with Sheraa is in line with Arada’s own commitment to create engaged, empowered and dynamic communities that have the ability to realise the potential of future generations.”
Redefining the developmental landscape of the UAE
