Al Ahli Holding Group partners with the Queen Rania Center for Entrepreneurship

This agreement was signed by Mr Mohamed Khammas, the CEO of Al Ahli Holding Group, Mr Mohammad Khawaja, the Deputy Director of the QRCE and HE Dr Adel Tweissi, President of the Founding Committee of El- Hassan Science City.

Al Ahli Holding Group launched the Global Business Opportunities program last year aiming to expand the capacity of Arab youth to work with peers from different countries and cultures to develop successful world-class ventures, as well as establishing newly born companies that supply global markets with products and services of high economic value. A group of Arab youths and participants from Argentina took part in the program's 1st phase, in which they underwent specialised courses in business development, which helped them acquire the entrepreneurial skills needed for venture success.

This CSR initiative is following the call of His Highness, General Sheikh Mohammed bin Zayed Al Nahyan, Crown Prince of Abu Dhabi and Deputy Supreme Commander of the UAE Armed Forces, for the public and private sector corporations to adopt corporate social responsibility oriented initiatives that serve the community, as per institutional and planned approaches so as to ensure sustainability and success.

Mr Mohamed Khammas, CEO of Al Ahli Holding Group said

'I am extremely proud to be forging this new partnership with the Queen Rania Center for Entrepreneurship and expanding the platform of partners to include their valuable knowledge and insight into our programs. The level of unwavering commitment offered by Her Majesty, Queen Rania, and the Government of Jordan towards youth development and capacity building is inspiring. Our aim is to lead by example and show the private sector what can be achieved with active and actual social responsibility'.

Al Ahli Holding Group is delighted to advise that the 2nd phase of the Global Business Opportunities program this year will include participants from Jordan, South Africa, Brazil, UAE and Argentina. In addition to specialised training courses, QRCE will provide seasoned mentors from leading companies around the world to support participating teams to enhance their Business Plans and hone their abilities to seize global business opportunities and build successful global companies. The program will also include field visits to major companies and factories in hosting countries in order to expand the participants' knowledge and increase their understanding of the work environment in the different countries, as well as an understanding of each country's specificity, both culturally and socially.

This initiative is characterised by focusing on founding teams of various nationalities and cultures to create an environment of integration and teamwork to increase the chance to learn through interaction with different cultures and people. Participants will compete by marketing their ideas to members of an international judging committee composed of Arab and foreign investors and business administration experts, who will give the team a big chance to finance and materialise their projects after assessing the socio-economic feasibility and global impact.

Mr Mohamed Khammas, CEO of Al Ahli Group said 'Through our dedicated CSR Division, and our partners, we are committed to developing Arab youth, building their skills and widening their horizons, exposure, acceptance and understanding among the Arab and international youth. To achieve this we work with passion, honesty and integrity, using the power of partnership and co-operation with different organisations that can, and will, join hands with us to build leaders of tomorrow through exposure to professional working environments and cultural experiences with youth from different parts of the world'.

Al Ahli Holding Group's GBO objectives this year are to increase the number of Arab participants and to grow with our partners and participants to achieve our wildest CSR dreams.
