Under the directives of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad Al Sharqi, Crown Prince of Fujairah, the final phase of the Young Techpreneurs initiative began on July 13.
The last phase is being held at Zayed Complex in Fujairah and will run until July 17. It follows the same format as earlier phases.
The initiative aims to help youth apply digital skills in real-world projects. It marks the culmination of an interactive journey that began in April. Emirati students from across Fujairah have taken part in a series of specialized training workshops.
These sessions were organized by the Government of Fujairah, represented by the Office of the Crown Prince, in collaboration with Hamdan Bin Mohammed Smart University (HBMSU). The program focuses on building youth capabilities in artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, programming, and entrepreneurship.
Participants will now apply their skills across five sectors: Healthcare
Tourism
Education
Community development
Economy
Students will select their preferred track, form teams, and implement their ideas under expert mentorship.
Each day includes reviewing earlier applications, accessing recorded workshops on HBMSU's Smart Campus platform, and training in presentation skills.
H.E. Dr. Ahmed Hamdan Al Zeyoudi, Director of the Office of the Crown Prince of Fujairah, said the third phase marks a shift from learning to real-world application. He emphasized the Crown Prince's vision of using technology to solve societal challenges and empower youth.
He noted that the initiative reflects Fujairah's commitment to smart education, innovation, and sustainable development.
H.E. Dr. Mansoor Al Awar, Chancellor of HBMSU, said the university is proud of its partnership with Fujairah and its role in preparing future digital leaders. He added that the initiative nurtures national talent capable of shaping the UAE's knowledge economy.
The program will conclude on July 17 with a graduation ceremony. An exhibition will showcase the participants' tech projects, offering guests insight into their development process and creative ideas.
The Fujairah Young Techpreneurs initiative highlights the emirate's ongoing investment in youth and commitment to driving digital transformation.
