Dubai launches free economic, creative zones in universities
Dubai - As part of Sheikh Mohammed's 50-year-charter for Dubai.
Sheikh Hamdan's comments came as he approved a new strategy to create economic and creative free zones in universities that will allow students to carry out business and creative activities as an integrated part of their higher education. The aim is to support students with education and research, and funding and pave way for the universities to graduate not students, but successful entrepreneurial employers.'Article 6: Free Economic and Creative Zones in Universities
We will announce our public and private universities as free zones that allow students to carry out business and creative activities, make these activities part of the education and graduation system, and shape integrated economic and creative zones around the universities.
These zones will support students with education, research and funding during the launch of their projects.
We want our universities to not only graduate students but also create companies and employers.'
"As we approve the strategy to create economic and creative free zones in universities, we set in motion a revolutionary plan that will assist students to realise their dreams in becoming the young successful business leaders of the future," Sheikh Hamdan added.
Furthermore,Sheikh Hamdan highlighted the importance of supporting graduates in their quest to create progress and how that supports Dubai's approach to become a leading global hub for entrepreneurship and investment in knowledge.
The new strategy was prepared by the Dubai Future Foundation in collaboration with other government entities that will play an integral role in assuring a successful implementation of this ambitious plan. The strategy prioritises collaboration with top international research institutions and universities to achieve its goals.
