At the Minipreneurs awards ceremony, held at Al Ain Oasis, a message by Mohamed Alabbar, founder and chairman of Eagle Hills and one of the world’s most prominent investors in real estate development, technology, and economic transformation, attracted significant attention.
Alabbar shared his impressions from the event on LinkedIn, noting that he had the opportunity to meet some of the most impressive young people he has encountered in a long time — young entrepreneurs with big ideas, ambition, and the confidence to build something of their own.
According to him, such encounters show that the new generation already understands the essence of growth: creating, building, and contributing to the community.
“Every business starts with an idea. When given the right support, that idea can create opportunities for many others,” Alabbar said.
The ceremony at Al Ain Oasis brought together young talents whose projects demonstrate that entrepreneurship is not only about profit but also about responsibility toward society. Their ideas, energy, and willingness to think beyond conventional boundaries are, according to Alabbar, reasons for optimism about the future.
His message is particularly significant given that it comes from a man whose career has included projects that have shaped the urban, economic, and technological development of the region. For that reason, his reflection on young entrepreneurs carries a broader message: the future of the economy depends on those who dare to turn ideas into concrete action.
Events such as the Minipreneurs awards ceremony show how important it is to provide young people with support, space, and trust. As seen at Al Ain Oasis, major changes often begin with small but bold ideas.
