Three young entrepreneurs showcased their innovative ventures at Dadu’s Final Market, held at Teen Hub on August 26-27, marking the end of the Dadu Startup Club programme. The market provided a platform for children to present and sell their ideas, gaining valuable business experience. Isabelle S Ali, a 12-year-old from Trinidad and Tobago, founded Kuki, a Japanese cookie business offering health-conscious flavors.
Her success was not only in the market, but also in personal growth, as her mother enrolled her in the programme to boost her confidence. Eleven-year-old Majed Ali al-Rumaihi from Qatar created Remake It, a venture that converts electronic waste into artwork, addressing a household problem. Lastly, 11-year-old Syrian participant Julie Alaeddin Nameh sold two self-published books, combining horror, mystery, and drama.
Each child's journey from idea to presentation demonstrated that confidence can be honed, environmental concerns can inspire creativity, and even a handwritten story can find a home in someone else's hands.
