ABOUT THE VENTURE BUILDING PROGRAM
Turning ideas into successful business innovation
The Ministry of Economy and its partners have launched a training and development program to support UAE-based family businesses in creating a thriving innovation ecosystem.
The objective of this program is to identify potential avenues for new ventures and build investment-ready businesses from the ground , making this a true venture building experience as opposed to an incubation program.

HOW IT IS FACILITATED
The Thabat Venture Building program is strongly subsidised by the Ministry of Economy.
While the entry package of the program (Silver) normally translates into a cost of around 1M AED, we are, with the Ministry's support, able to offer three packages at reduced price points to choose from:
HONOR OUR LEGACY
Family businesses worldwide, and especially in the UAE, are the backbone of the economy.
The Thabat Venture Building Program honours the contribution of the entrepreneurs who laid the first foundation and embraces this legacy by promoting the entrepreneurial spirit of our fathers at the heart of its methodology.
EMBRACE OUR PRESENT
Venture Building is the leading toolset to embrace the assets we have today to leverage them for a brighter future.
We use the world-leading methodology of one of the largest independent venture builders and adapted it to the current conditions in the UAE in order to integrate present capabilities in our journey into the future.
SHAPE OUR FUTURE
TVB is home to the next generation of entrepreneurs and supports them on their journey to prosper our UAE community.
The goal is not only to preserve the status quo, but to grow beyond it. A new, digital future with endless possibilities awaits the brave who dare to dream big and are willing to put in hard work to make those dreams a reality.
