Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development (KFED) has announced the launch of the fourth edition of its ‘Venturist Entrepreneurship’ summer camp 2022.

The upcoming camp will be the first physical, in-person camp, following three virtual camps which commenced in 2020.

The camp aims to inspire innovative young students aged 10-18, with a mix of workshops and private sessions led by renowned speakers who will share their expertise across various business verticals.

KFED said registration for the camp, to be held in Youth Hub in Abu Dhabi, was open now.

The camp will have three separate, two working week segments, starting from July 13to 22, July, 25 to August 4, and August 8 to 18.

Alia Al Mazrouei, CEO of Khalifa Fund, said the camp would provide the students with resources and mentorship, which will enable them to unlock their entrepreneurial potential.

“We aspire to encourage idea generation, collaboration and out of box thinking through creating an acute understanding, and equipping the young generation with the knowledge required to be successful entrepreneurs,” Mazrouei said.
