Chairperson Message

As we celebrate a transformative milestone—the rebranding of the Emirates Association for Franchise Development to Emirates Franchise—we reflect on a decade of remarkable achievements and look ahead to an even brighter future. This change is more than a new name; it symbolises our renewed commitment to positioning the UAE as a global leader in franchising innovation, entrepreneurship, and economic growth.

At Emirates Franchise, we are committed to creating a thriving ecosystem that supports innovation, fosters growth, and provides sustainable investment opportunities. Our initiatives are designed to equip entrepreneurs with the tools and guidance they need to adopt franchising as a pathway to success.

The new rebranding reaffirms our dedication to supporting local brands in reaching international markets while strengthening their contributions to the national economy. By promoting collaboration, sharing best practices, and building strategic partnerships, we aim to amplify the success of franchising as a key driver of sustainable economic development, in line with the ambitious goals of UAE Vision 2071.

Looking to the future, Emirates Franchise will continue to champion innovation, nurture global partnerships, and provide comprehensive support to entrepreneurs and businesses. Together, we will unlock new possibilities, elevate the UAE’s franchising sector, and contribute to a diverse, knowledge-driven economy that inspires growth and opportunity for all.
