Sawaed Programme
The Sawaed Programme seeks to support and develop the capabilities of talented Arab entrepreneurs by awarding non-refundable grants to regional projects that make a positive contribution to Arab World development. 
Each year, Sawaed will address a specific regional challenge, inviting participants to submit business concepts dedicated to meeting that challenge. The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Foundation will select winning business concepts and will help fund these concepts as per certain timelines.
The Sawaed Programme is a new and innovative opportunity for businesses to develop commercially sustainable enterprises, whilst addressing development challenges in the Arab World.
The current two challenges are:
Development of Online Arabic Content
Child Education Challenge
Note: We regret to inform you that there will be a delay in announcing the winners of this year’s competition. All applicants will be contacted shortly.
