- India and UAE launch a 3-year educational partnership between ADSM and UIBC UC to empower young entrepreneurs and professionals.
- The initiative includes seminars, mentorships, and tailored courses on innovation, sustainability, and ethical leadership.
- MoU aims to strengthen the UAE-India education corridor and foster cross-border innovation and SME growth.
India and the UAE launched a three year educational collaboration between the Abu Dhabi School of Management (ADSM) and the UAE India Business Council UAE Chapter (UIBC UC), with the mission of empowering young entrepreneurs and young professionals with the skills, networks, and attitude to succeed in an increasingly dynamic global economy. This project, adopted in Abu Dhabi, will operate until July 2028, with a strategic review at the conclusion of the period to ensure long-term effects.
At the heart of the partnership is a diverse calendar of events seminars, workshops, and conferences uniting subject matter experts from the UAE, India, and global innovation centers. Aimed at facilitating knowledge exchange, these programmes will promote engagement directly from students, teachers, and early stage entrepreneurs.
Professional growth is another corner stone of the MoU, with tailored courses in areas of innovation management, ethical leadership, sustainability, and digital transformation. These courses will be aligned with the fast-changing business landscape of the region and further establish ADSM as a preeminent applied business education institution in the Gulf.
One of the highlight features of the agreement is a formal mentorship program, bringing ADSM students and graduates together with experienced entrepreneurs and business leaders of UIBC UC. The objective is to aid career choice, stimulate cross border projects, and create new partnerships.
To support the knowledge ecosystem, the two organizations will develop collaboratively written white papers and policy studies on young people's entrepreneurship, SME development, and innovation ecosystems.
The findings are anticipated to inform policymakers, investors, and broader stakeholders. Both institutions' leaders showed great ambition. Dr Tayeb Kamali, ADSM chair, stressed the school's role in developing talent and driving change regionally and globally. Faizal Kottikollon, UIBC UC chair, said the partnership marked a foundation for a generation of future leaders and a common vision for regional prosperity.
Apart from programme deployment, UIBC UC will also create avenues for cooperation with Indian universities, research institutions, and incubators, further developing an emerging education corridor between the two countries.
