SEARCHING FOR THE NEXT IDEA!
(As published in Zawya, 2nd April 2012) Abu Dhabi—Business support organisation Tamakkan has teamed with Boston University’s Brussels campus to launch a new competition for budding entrepreneurs in the UAE. The Social Enterprise Business Plan competition is designed to encourage and support entrepreneurs with a great idea in the field of social enterprise. Tamakkan founder and Managing Director of leading communications company BrandMoxie, Sana Bagersh, says the competition will promote a range of new ideas for SME businesses. “All entrepreneurs need to be supported,” said Bagersh. “We are delighted that one of the world’s leading universities, Boston University, is strongly behind this local Tamakkan initiative.” Entrants with a great social enterprise idea are asked to submit a one or two page outline of their idea, including funding options and a brief discussion of how the idea engages the community and promotes environmental sustainability. Entries close on Thursday 12 April and can be emailed to business@brandmoxie.com The winner will receive a ticket to the Corporate Leadership Workshop being conducted by Boston University’s Brussels faculty in Dubai (28-29 April) and Abu Dhabi (3 May) covering Excellence in Project Management, Presentation and Communication Skills, and Organizational and Team Dynamics. “This course will help accelerate the winner on the fast track of corporate leadership by enabling them to experience practical approaches to current dilemmas,” said Melissa Rancourt, Head of Faculty at Boston University in Brussels. Tamakkan, an initiative of BrandMoxie, is an organization aimed at nurturing entrepreneurship, leadership and innovation.
