Dubai: Eight entrepreneurs have completed the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and Industry’s Tejar Dubai programme and are ready to enter the world of business, the Chamber said today.

Most of these entrepreneurs’ projects are in line with the Dubai Smart City initiative which includes smart services and new apps while others projects are related to businesses that include,loyalty cards, nursery and training centre for children with learning disability.
These entrepreneurs have been provided with access to an extensive development programme, including classroom learning, onsite training, mentoring and business advice in addition to network opportunities with local and international business leaders.
Dubai Chamber hosted a Business Majlis last week for these established entrepreneurs to tell their success stories and to aspire the new participant in Tejar Dubai.
Mubarak Al Suwaidi, founder of e-commerce website builder, Suwaidishbasket, said that without the guidance and training he received by Dubai Chamber he would not have been able to plan his business’s budget.
He added that Tejar Dubai has opened different financing opportunities through the networking it provides and by the support of the supervising committee which include leading businessman and businesswomen in the UAE.
Hisham Al Shirawi, Second Vice-Chairman of Dubai Chamber and Chairman of the Panel of Experts Committee of Tejar Dubai, called upon the participants to make the best use of this opportunity offered by the Chamber to grow professionally and enter the world of entrepreneurship.
