Training Program format & key facts
Organized detailsOverview
Ra'idah returns in September 2026 for a competitively selected cohort of women founders leading SMEs in Abu Dhabi, combining a two-day academy, mentoring and a pitch competition.
Complete training program details
The Abu Dhabi Businesswomen Council and Publicis Groupe Middle East are accepting applications for the second edition of Ra'idah, scheduled for September 2026. Selected participants will join a two-day, in-person academy, receive one-to-one mentoring and take part in Falcon Tank, the programme's pitch competition. The curriculum covers marketing and leadership fundamentals, AI tools, content creation, personal branding, paid-media strategy and campaign-idea development. The official announcement says winning business campaign ideas will receive paid media funding, but it does not state an amount. No application closing date or exact September programme dates are stated on the official page, so none are inferred here.
Eligibility requirements
The official 2026 announcement describes Ra'idah as supporting women-led small and medium enterprises in Abu Dhabi and says the cohort brings together women founders from across Abu Dhabi. Applicants undergo competitive selection by the Abu Dhabi Businesswomen Council and Publicis Groupe Middle East. The announcement does not state a nationality restriction, company-age threshold or minimum revenue requirement.
Tips for this training program
Practical Job and Scholarship guidance. These tips do not replace official rules or create new eligibility requirements.

- Do not assume a deadline; check the official announcement and linked form for any newly added closing date before submitting.
- Confirm learning outcomes, prerequisites, delivery schedule, assessment requirements and certificate conditions.
- Check whether the training is free, funded, reimbursed or requires a fee and whether attendance is mandatory for completion.
- Verify that the provider and certificate are relevant to your intended academic or professional use.
Verification notes
Verified on 2026-08-29 against the Abu Dhabi Chamber's current English announcement, which links directly to the application form and states that the second edition is scheduled for September 2026. No deadline, exact programme dates, funding amount or nationality restriction is stated, so those details are intentionally not invented.
Job and Scholarship is the discovery and verification layer. Confirm eligibility, dates, salary/funding and application instructions on the original source before submitting anything.
