This is achieved by launching effective partnerships with institutions from both the government and private sectors within the UAE.

Nabil Abou Alwan expressed his pride in launching this new collaboration with the Kuwait Business Council in Dubai and the Northern Emirates, and the joining of representatives of the Sharjah Islamic Bank in the General Assembly of the Kuwait Business Council in Dubai and the Northern Emirates. This contributes to an influential role in supporting and enabling Kuwaiti entrepreneurs and investors by involving them in more investment opportunities in the Emirate of Sharjah and the United Arab Emirates as a whole, offering consultancy and training programs for them, and developing new areas for commercial and economic cooperation between the business communities in the UAE and Kuwait, and contributing to creating an environment conducive to entrepreneurship in the emirate and beyond.

It also enriches the level of participation, exchange, and interaction among the council members regarding information about doing business in Sharjah and transferring various experiences through holding meetings, seminars, conferences, and economic exhibitions, as well as recognizing the numerous investment opportunities abundant in the economy of Sharjah, considering it an economy witnessing rapid growth at all levels in light of the ongoing developmental and economic projects there.
