Emirates teams up with Sheraa to boost entrepreneurship

Emirates airline is teaming up with the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Centre (Sheraa) to boost the UAE's start-up and entrepreneurial ecosystem.

The Dubai-based carrier will be the strategic partner of Sheraa and will offer discounted fares to and from its network of more 90 destinations for start-ups attending the annual Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival. It will also offer fare discounts to start-ups that relocate to the UAE through Sheraa's programmes.

“The UAE has clearly established itself as a hub for innovation and ideas … drawing in the brightest minds and talent from around the world,” Adnan Kazim, Emirates' chief commercial officer, said in a statement on Monday.
