Emirates Foundation's Social Investment Forum encourages youth to 'Think Science'

Hosted by HE sheikh Sultan bin Tahnoon Al Nahyan, Foundation's Managing Director, the event witnesses the participation of local experts who will tackle in their discussion various pressing topics that set Emirati youth reluctant to embracing science for their education and hence as a career path.

In addition, the Forum will witness announcing a new program that focuses on science and its importance to unlock youth's potentials by grooming the right cadre for growing industries that require Emiratis with science background.

The Emirates Foundation Business Breakfast for Social Investment which was first launched in March 2012, is held every quarter in order to unite the business community to discuss opportunities and challenges facing young people in the UAE and the role the private sector can play in terms of financial and technical support to maintain and expand the Foundation's initiatives. It also allows for dialogue with the private sector with a view to encouraging businesses to ensure that their social investment (CSR) portfolios are strategic, aligned to their business and community needs to deliver sustainable outcomes.

Emirates Foundation provides bespoke support to businesses keen to deliver a strong value proposition to the community and makes recommendations on how social investment programs can deliver most impact.
