The new program intends to prepare the next generation of competent Emirati talent to lead Dubai’s vital sectors by enriching them with knowledge of the latest economic trends and expertise.

The Dubai Economic Leadership Program is organized by the Mohammed bin Rashid Centre for Leadership Development (MBRCLD) in collaboration with strategic international partners prominent in the field of economy.

Further, it aims to prepare national talent through quality education and targeted activities that help them gain essential future leadership.

In a post published on his official account on X, Sheikh Hamdan said that, “Today we launch the ‘Dubai Economic Leaders Program’. Our goal is to prepare Emirati talent who will assume the responsibility to elevate Dubai’s economy and its future, fulfill its economic agenda, D33, and ensure sustainable growth.”

“I will personally oversee the progression of this year-long program, which falls under the supervision of the Mohammed bin Rashid Centre for Leadership Development (MBRCLD). The nomination and application process are open to those who see themselves as part of the future of Dubai and the UAE. With a wealth of creative minds across all sectors, Dubai has enough resilience and proactivity to ensure a leading position at the forefront of the world’s most diverse and fastest-growing economies,” the Crown Prince added.

According to the statement, “The Dubai Economic Leadership Program aims to develop quality new themes that help develop promising national competencies, provide the right conditions to nurture leadership skills and support outstanding talent, while also working towards the goals of D33, in terms of doubling Dubai’s economic growth over the next decade, and bolstering its position among the world’s top three cities.”
