Shaping Future Hospitality Leaders

Dubai, UAE – Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates is excited to announce its involvement in the Jumeirah College Enterprise Week 2025, following the successful debut of this initiative back in 2023. This year, more than 100 students from GEMS school, aged 12-13, will unveil 40 imaginative "future hotel" concepts, all centered around the vital theme of “Sustainability”, with the hotel’s leadership team serving as judges.

Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates is committed to inspiring young talent and fostering innovation through its Corporate Social Responsibility initiatives. The Enterprise Week held at the Jumeirah College offers students a valuable opportunity to express their creativity and knowledge during the school's annual enrichment activities. This event not only showcases the students' inventive ideas but also reflects Kempinski’s dedication to supporting educational programs and cultivating the next generation of leaders.

"We are truly inspired by the enthusiasm and creativity displayed by these young innovators. Our commitment to nurturing future leaders aligns seamlessly with our core values of excellence and community engagement," remarked Mr. Slim Zaiane, General Manager of Kempinski Hotel Mall of the Emirates, who was impressed by the caliber of projects presented last year.

Awards will be presented across several categories, including “Best Marketing Strategy,” “Best Elevator Pitch,” and “Best Team Collaboration,” with winners set to be announced in September.
