Under the patronage of Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Sheraa (Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center) hosted its inaugural Seed program Showcase Day, at the Sharjah Entrepreneurial Festival, earlier today. During the event, the newest cohort was introduced and the winner of the $10,000 grant was announced, in the presence of leading investors, key opinion leaders and heads of government entities.

Najla Al-Midfa, CEO of Sheraa, said, “Sheraa’s new Seed program focuses on key milestones in the journey of growth, not only helping startups engage with their customers but also preparing them for raising investment. Now a permanent offering, the six-week program – our shortest and most intense –  ensures Sheraa provides a truly full stack entrepreneurial experience. It has been incredible to see how far our startups have come in such a short time.”
