“Henry has a unique capacity to inspire colleagues and make them work toward commonly shared goals. I had the pleasure to work with Henry for almost two years at Talixo. He is extremely competitive, ready to work the extra mile to achieve the best outcome for the team. His ability to build relationships and capacity to clearly communicate complex information is exceptional and allowed the company to close important deals and build strategic partnerships. I enjoyed working with Henry and any organization would be fortunate to have him!”

Smith & Williamson Partner and Head of Entrepreneurial services Guy Rigby commented, “We are delighted to include Henry Joseph-Grant in The Smith & Williamson Power 100. The list celebrates those who use their experience or expertise to provide vital support to help inspire, mentor, connect and professionalize the UK’s up-and-coming businesses. Without the likes of Henry and those listed, many brands that are household names today would simply not exist – they are critical to the wellbeing of the entrepreneurial ecosystem.”
“I’m thrilled to be included on the 2017 S&W Power 100,” said Henry Joseph-Grant. “It came as a complete shock when I was told that I was not only being recognized in the Power 100, but also in the top 25 of the list, amongst an exciting group of influencers and leaders, who take an active role supporting and shaping the entire UK entrepreneurial ecosystem, so it’s an honour and I hope my inclusion helps to shine the spotlight on my country of birth – Northern Ireland and it’s entrepreneurial ecosystem.” -

Entrepreneur Middle East
An all-new issue of Entrepreneur Middle East is here, and on the cover is Dr Kevin K., the CEO of Falcons Group (Falcons), a UAE-based platform specializing in the auction and private sale of luxury and rare collectibles. With Falcons’ most extravagant auction yet scheduled to take place at the iconic Burj Al Arab on September 28, 2024, Dr. Khalili believes his company has what it takes to become a trailblazer in this space. But there is a special new addition to his company’s portfolio that has left him and his team *particularly* excited for the future: rare sports collectibles! “We are proud to be the first to champion sports card collecting in this part of the world,” he shares. “Falcons is setting the standard with live sports card breaking—an engaging and dynamic experience where collectors witness the unveiling of rare cards in real time.” Also in this issue: a special op-ed from AlDhabi AlMheiri, the 10-year-old founder of UAE-based Rainbow Chimney, who reveals the secrets behind balancing school work and running a business. Plus, we take a behind-the-scenes look at KSA-based Yalla Plus’ US$2.7 million in seed funding, which is expected to catalyze the tech startup’s aim to further empower the Kingdom’s hospitality sector. Get all the details on how the all-new Nissan Motor Corporation (Nissan) Patrol, which was unveiled at an event in Abu Dhabi, is set to kickstart the global automobile giant’s global business plan. In a special section that puts a spotlight on global markets, we bring to you a brief look at how the UK startup ecosystem is slowly but surely becoming a entrepreneurial hotspot--to do this, we briefly profile the country’s top 10 unicorns as well as its top 10 most active venture capital firms. Also catch up on all the updates -including the full list of winners- from the Sustainability Innovation Awards 2024, which was held on August 30, 2024, to celebrate all the innovative initiatives that contribute to the environmental, social, and economic development in the MENA. Contributors to this month’s edition include Mark Sephton, who explains why founders recharging with a month-long sabbatical is key to sustained business growth, and Jay Shaholia, who shares how the culture of overworking can be fixed.

#SUMitDubai24 is shaping up to be a truly remarkable experience, offering workshops catering to every interest. Secure your spot now as tickets are very nearly all gone! https://lnkd.in/dGkhVAgZ 👇Here are just a few of our fantastic speakers... 🌟Berna Bouwer - The Inclusive Mathematics Classroom In an inclusive maths classroom, diversity is embraced, and teaching strategies accommodate students of all abilities. Differentiated instruction, varied assessment methods, and collaborative learning foster an environment where every student can thrive. By promoting equity and access, the inclusive maths classroom ensures that all learners have opportunities to succeed. 🌟Whitney Edmondson - Effective Design of Authentic Assessments in Maths Join us for an engaging and interactive session where you'll explore the creation of authentic formative and summative assessments. We'll delve into connecting cake designs to concepts of volume and surface area, and explore how exponential functions can be applied to pitch movie sequels. By the end of the session, you'll not only walk away with new hands-on assessment ideas for your students but also gain valuable insights from the group. Let's collaborate and share authentic assessment strategies. 🌟Kieran Mackle - Variation (is the spice of life) Variation theory has gained a reputation as a powerful lens in which to answer the question ‘How do pupils learn?’. Yet it finds itself a battleground for warring factions, eager to stake their claim as the holders of the true interpretation of the available evidence. So, what does the research say and how should we utilise variation theory in the classroom? In this session, ALTA Education Director Kieran Mackle will trace the theory back to its roots, cast a critical eye over the research conducted during its 40-year lifetime, highlight interesting crossovers with other areas of research, and provide a set of guiding principles upon which classroom practice can be based. 🌟Yousuf Patel - Introduction to IB Maths AA HL An introductory course to anyone teaching the IB Math's AA HL course for the first time. I intend to run through comparisons to the A Level for those transitioning over, look at exam papers, pick apart some topics and discuss how we introduce the IA at NAS Dubai. 🌟Greg Roberts - Designing Open-Ended Problems For anyone who uses open middle problems with their students or has never seen them before. We will explore what makes a good problem and we will devote time to creating a task suitable for the students we teach. 🌟Thomas Sale - Continuous Formative Assessment and Pupil Feedback in Maths This session will showcase continuous formative assessment and pupil feedback in Maths using learning by questions. Through topic-specific, targeted questioning, teachers can immediately see which pupils are struggling or have misconceptions and support them where needed. EdV Phil Redhead Kerry Conlon

Wynn’s UAE License: Whose Next Bet Will Win? Wynn Resorts just made history with the UAE’s first-ever commercial gaming license, and Abu Dhabi is almost positioning itself as the next big player. With Yas Island, home to Ferrari World and Warner Bros., Abu Dhabi is eyeing casino developments that could push the UAE’s gaming revenue past $6 billion, potentially outpacing Singapore. Wynn’s $3.9 billion resort in Ras Al Khaimah (on the video) is only the beginning, as MGM Resorts International and Genting are also exploring opportunities. This marks a massive shift. Real estate, tourism, and entertainment sectors in the UAE, especially in Abu Dhabi and beyond, are ripe for growth. The future of gaming in the UAE is here — are you ready to place your bets?

🏠 Renting in Dubai: a look at the regulatory landscape Navigating the rental market in Dubai requires a clear understanding of the regulations in place. Today, we dive into the legal framework on rent in the emirate, outlining the key legislative acts that govern this crucial aspect of life. In Dubai, a special government entity called RERA (Real Estate Regulatory Agency) is responsible for overseeing real estate issues. RERA creates a legislative framework for rental relations in Dubai and regulates the rights and obligations of the landlord and tenant. As for the legislative acts, here are several important documents to keep in mind while renting in Dubai: ▶ Law No. (26) of 2007. It regulates the relations between lessors and lessees of property in Dubai. ▶ Law No. (33) of 2008, which states that the tenant or landlord must register the tenancy contract with the Real Estate Regulatory Agency (RERA) through Ejari. ▶ Decree No. (26) of 2013. The Decree establishes the Rent Disputes Settlement Centre. ▶ Decree No. (43) of 2013 on Determining the Increase in the Real Estate Rentals in the Emirate of Dubai. It regulates rental increases: for instance, according to this Decree no increase is allowed if the existing rent is up to 10 per cent less than the average rental for similar real property units in the same location. These documents offer a strong starting point for understanding the rights and responsibilities as a tenant or landlord. However, it's important to remember that legal frameworks can evolve, so staying current with official resources is crucial.

My flight to Dubai was cancelled! 🤬 What Happened to British Airways? It seems that British Airways is dealing with multiple problems all at once, and it’s the passengers like me who are paying the price. From what I’ve read, staffing shortages, strikes, and technical issues have all contributed to the airline’s struggles. COVID-19, of course, played a big role, but while other airlines are bouncing back, BA (unfortunatelly) seems stuck in a downward spiral. Losing Trust in an Airline I Once Respected I never thought I’d lose faith in British Airways. For me everything BRITISH was GREAT. For years, BA was offering dependable service and the comfort of knowing I was in good hands. But after this, I’m seriously reconsidering. The lack of communication (call centre working 8am until 8pm) and the sheer inconvenience of having my flight cancelled at midnight after waiting inside the aircraft for considarable time have all left me disillusioned. Unfortunately, it appears my experience wasn’t unique. After looking into the situation further, I discovered that British Airways has been experiencing a row of cancellations recently, many of them due to engineering problems or other operational issues. Flights are being cancelled or delayed more often, and passengers like me are bearing the brunt of these disruptions. British Airways was once known for its impeccable service, but now it seems like the airline is struggling to keep up with its former reputation. For now, though I will fly Emirates and I’m left wondering whether I’ll ever feel confident booking with British Airways again. #ba #britishairways
