EIBFS throws the spotlight on its training and consultancy services at premier event for UAE SMEs
Leading institute offers 17 new specially designed SME courses during Entrepreneurial Ventures of Arabia's 3rd Annual Global Entrepreneurship SummitDecember 12, 2012
The Emirates Institute for Banking and Financial Studies (EIBFS), the sole provider of specialized knowledge and enhanced learning experiences for the UAE banking and financial sector, launched 17 new training programs for the SME segment at Entrepreneurial Ventures of Arabia's (EVA) 3rd Annual Global Entrepreneurship Summit, the Middle East and Africa's premier summit and exhibition for innovation, entrepreneurship and SMEs, which was held from December 11, 2012 to December 12, 2012 at the Dubai World Trade Centre. Held for the first time in the UAE, the flagship platform event allowed the leading institution to throw the spotlight on 17 new SME courses that have been specifically developed to help SMEs increase their productivity and improve on efficiencies.
The event is a special initiative of the Government of Dubai and is being held under the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al Maktoum, UAE Vice President, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai. According to EVA, the first-of-its-kind Dubai show was aimed at developing key entrepreneurial skills to complement the Middle East's growing economies while at the same time help SMEs develop their roadmaps in identifying potential business opportunities across local and international markets. In addition, the two-day show was positioned to be a strategic platform for SMEs—from suppliers, funding organizations, government agencies to public and private entities, to showcase their products, services and initiatives and achievements. Participants for this year’s event included investors, channel partners and corporate procurement executives.
“Our participation at this year’s edition of the GES has allowed us the strategic opportunity for showcasing our training programs and consultancy services that have been specially designed for Middle East SMEs,” said Jamal Al Jasmi, General Manager, EIBFS. “We understand the significant role that SMEs play in the Middle East’s move towards economic development, which is why we have created 17 tailored courses that teaches and trains SMEs in various aspects of their business, from doing basic financial calculations, business forecasting to performing strategic financial management and understanding mergers and acquisitions. These courses demonstrate our long standing commitment to provide the region in general and the UAE in particular, with essential training programs that aim to improve and develop businesses.”
Enrolling under an EIBFS offered program proves to be very advantageous and beneficial to both businesses and their employees. The institution’s long years of experience for training and educating the UAE banking and financial segment has ably positioned them as a leader in specialized education. EIBFS campuses, which are strategically located across the region, have the required resources and are fully equipped, with each course facilitated by highly knowledgeable and industry proficient trainers.
