Badiri Academy

One of very few in the region, the Badiri Business Entrepreneurship Virtual Academy is a digital platform for aspiring and current entrepreneurs, providing resources, training and a community of empowered peers.

While the Badiri Business Entrepreneurship Virtual Academy’s content is open to all to benefit from, some components and audio visual materials of the programme are only open to female entrepreneurs aiming to develop a world-class entrepreneurship development academy to empower women.

Established by His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Member of the UAE Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah. NAMA is chaired by Her Highness Sheikha Jawaher bint Mohammed Al Qasimi, Wife of His Highness the Ruler of Sharjah. Our core philosophy at NAMA is to raise awareness that women are an indispensable human resource for the development of every nation.

NAMA was conceived to go beyond the remit of supporting women and ensuring gender equality to a broader scope that aims to see women become influential key members of society, thereby enabling them to climb the ladder of success.

It encourages policies and legislation to support women and actively pursues programmes that support gender integration into all sectors and abolishes unjust practices and policies that discriminate against the advancement of women.
