Empowering the next generation of entrepreneurs by transforming children's ideas into real businesses.
Hawamir Freejna is a pioneering community initiative launched for the first time in the Emirate of Abu Dhabi with the mission of discovering, empowering, and supporting young entrepreneurs by transforming children's talents, passions, and creative ideas into real business ventures.
The initiative is built on the belief that entrepreneurship is best learned through experience. Instead of relying heavily on electronic devices, children participate in practical, hands-on activities that allow them to explore their potential while developing valuable entrepreneurial skills.
Participants experience the complete entrepreneurial journey — from generating an idea and designing a product to marketing, selling, and engaging directly with customers. This immersive experience helps build confidence, creativity, communication skills, leadership, financial awareness, and problem-solving abilities from an early age.
To establish Abu Dhabi as a leading hub for nurturing young entrepreneurs and inspiring future generations to become innovative business leaders who contribute positively to society.
To provide children with a real entrepreneurial experience that transforms creativity into action while developing practical business, leadership, and innovation skills within a supportive community environment.
The first integrated children's entrepreneurship initiative in Abu Dhabi that combines business, education, innovation, Emirati identity, and community engagement.
Children manage every stage of creating and operating a business, gaining practical knowledge through real-world participation.
The initiative brings together young entrepreneurs, families, national institutions, supporting organizations, media, and content creators to build a thriving entrepreneurial ecosystem.
Hawamir Freejna promotes self-reliance, creativity, productivity, and entrepreneurial thinking from an early age while preparing children for future opportunities.
Hawamir Freejna is more than an event — it is a community movement that invests in the next generation of entrepreneurs.
By empowering children to transform ideas into real businesses, we are helping shape confident innovators, future business leaders, and a culture of entrepreneurship that begins from childhood.
Hawamir Freejna Season One was proudly held under the patronage of Sheikh Khalifa bin Dhiyab Al Nahyan, lending the event its place among Abu Dhabi's platforms for youth achievement and enterprise.
Real projects, not school projects.Every child on stage built something they could actually sell — a product, a brand, an idea with a price tag.
Pitching, pricing, and handling "no."Season One taught kids to stand in front of a crowd and defend an idea — the same skill grown founders spend years building.
A real audience, real feedback.Not a classroom demo — 4,300 attendees, cameras, press, and a runway. The stakes were real, and so was the confidence it built.
