As part of this collaboration, Mohamed Abdalla Al Zaabi, Group CEO of Miral, and Mouza Al Nasri, Acting CEO of KFED, visited the market to engage with the participating entrepreneurs and explore their locally made products.

“We are proud of our long-standing partnership with the Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development, which continues to empower Emirati entrepreneurs by providing them with opportunities to showcase their exceptional products and services,” said Mohamed Abdalla Al Zaabi, Group CEO of Miral. “As we celebrate the Year of Community, this initiative not only drives economic development but also strengthens social cohesion, ensuring a more prosperous future for all.”
