IGNITE THE ENTREPRENEURIAL SPIRIT
Venturist is Abu Dhabi’s bold educational camp designed to ignite the entrepreneurial spirit of young Emiratis. Successfully running since 2020, the camp has delivered inspiring experiences at standout locations including ADGM, Youth Hub, and Khalifa University.
In dynamic, fast-paced small groups, participants will brainstorm, build, and bring to life their own business ideas – all while making new friends and forming powerful connections.
From crafting a killer pitch to mastering marketing, finance, PR, and feasibility, Venturist offers hands-on learning that feels more like an adventure than a classroom.
Campers also get exclusive access to inspiring talks and real-world advice from local business leaders and industry experts who’ve done it all before.
This isn’t just a camp – it’s a launchpad for the next generation of Emirati innovators.

FOCUS OF VENTURIST CAMPS
Work with fellow gifted Young Entrepreneurs
The Venturist programme brings together ambitious young Emirati students to collaborate with like-minded peers in world-class environments, where innovation meets opportunity. Over the course of the programme, participants develop and refine their business ideas through expert-led workshops, dynamic group activities, and real-world challenges. The experience culminates in a high-profile pitch event, where students present their ventures to esteemed guests from the UAE’s business and investment community—offering a platform for recognition, mentorship, and future growth.
All our young entrepreneurs receive a certificate of participation endorsed by Khalifa Fund, featuring full ISTE certification and the signature of the Khalifa Fund CEO. The certificate also includes accreditation from Digital Media Academy, a global leader in educational camps with programmes hosted at prestigious institutions such as Harvard, Yale, and Stanford.
