A Global Entrepreneurship Experience for the UAE
A cross-border executive program designed to elevate entrepreneurs, family business leaders, and next-generation founders across the UAE and GCC, delivered locally and internationally.
Delivered by Family Business Exchange, in partnership with EEB Canada and Intelaaq
Entrepreneurs in the UAE operate in fast-growing, capital-rich markets, but often without sufficient exposure to global ecosystems, international best practices, and peer learning across borders.
This program was designed to close that gap by combining regional relevance with international immersion, equipping participants with the mindset, tools, and networks to scale their businesses globally.
Two Regions. One Integrated Experience.
One week of regional workshops in the UAE, then one week of international immersion in Quebec.
