The E-Learning Competence Center (ELCC) participated in the Entrepreneurship First Symposium that was held in Abu Dhabi in support of the U.S. Presidential Summit on Entrepreneurship held in Washington, DC.

The symposium, held under the title “From U.A.E to Washington D.C.: A New Beginning realized", gathered local and regional experts to speak about the importance of Entrepreneurship education and to share ideas about ways of developing entrepreneurship regionally.

It brought together approximately 250 successful entrepreneurs from more than fifty countries to identify ways to advance economic and social entrepreneurship; build networks among stakeholders in entrepreneurship; and provide an opportunity to establish partnerships that advance entrepreneurship.

On the sidelines of the symposium, ELCC signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Knowledge Horizon, the organizer of the event and a leading international knowledge transfer organization that promotes excellence in learning.

The agreement aims at disseminating proven e-Learning practices and leveraging e-Learning technology as an enabler for delivering wide access and scalable entrepreneurship education to the masses in the region.
