Sharjah: Winners of the “Ecopreneurship Program” were announced during COP28, recognising sustainable innovation and advancements within the AI, logistics and agriculture sectors. This program, in collaboration with the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center (Sheraa) and Expo City, is curated by the Abdulla Al Ghurair Foundation as a strategic partner to the Ministry of Education (MOE) under the Greening Communities Pillar of the UAE’s Green Education Partnership.

Initiated in October of this year, the program received an overwhelming response with over 1,000 applicants from the region and the world, culminating in the awarding of three exceptional teams whose innovative projects were pitched in front of an international audience at the MOE’s Pavilion at COP28, promising to make lasting contributions to a greener future.

The 3 winning teams, namely, EcoSat; Golden JoTree; and AIN by TYAR, were awarded with an equity-free grant of AED 50,000 each, allowing them to further develop their concepts and become market ready. This accolade also propels these teams into a 16-week Accelerator program, a critical juncture where their innovative ideas will be nurtured to fruition by Sheraa and their Experts-in-Residence (EiRs).
