Dubai, UAE, April 23, 2016:  Keeping in line with UAE's vision to promote small and medium business enterprises, Wealth Dynamics Unlimited partners with Etisalat to host the Millionaire Summit 2016. The Summit is being held over two days on April 24th and 25th April 2016  at the Constellation Ballroom, The Address Hotel, Dubai Marina and aims to inform, educate and inspire existing and aspiring entrepreneurs and those who are looking to expand their business.

The event features a keynote address from John Lincoln, Senior Vice President, Small & Medium Business (SMB) at Etisalat. In addition, world-renowned speakers will share their inspiring stories, learnings, practical experiences and strategic insights.

The SMB sector has shown healthy growth consistently, abetted by the government's efforts to create more fertile economic bases and the positive anticipation from Expo 2020, where more new businesses are expected on the sidelines. As per recent news reports, UAE hosts around 350,000 SMBs, providing jobs for about 90 percent of private sector workforce. The SMB segment contributes 60 percent of the country's GDP and the number is expected grow to 70 percent within the next six years in line with the National Agenda of the UAE Vision 2021.

John Lincoln, Senior Vice-President, Small and Medium Business, Etisalat added: “UAE embodies dynamism, excitement and boundless potential for start-ups and SMBs. More than 100,000 SMBs are estimated to set up shop in this country over the next three years. We understand that SMBs are a critical part of the economy, a segment that Etisalat wants to nurture, support and help grow. We believe in their best interests, which is to help their businesses stay connected and more importantly, get digitized. We are excited about partnering with Millionaire Summit as it provides a forum where entrepreneurs and business owners can share a wealth of information, exchange ideas and get a head-start in their entrepreneurial journey. This initiative is unilateral with our vision to support the burgeoning SMB sector.”

Oksana Tashikova, Founder of Wealth Dynamics Unlimited and organiser of the Millionaire Summit, said:“UAE, with its brisk business environment which encourages entrepreneurship, proactive approach, diverse cosmopolitan nature, and prime geographical location, all guarantee that there is something for everyone who wants to start a business. The government is obviously making every effort to create more avenues for entrepreneurs, facilitate their progress and turn UAE into a hub of business growth. In such a setting, summits like these empower existing and potential businesspeople with tools to work their way up. Particularly in this rapidly changing economy, when constant innovation is the name of the game, entrepreneurs need to diversify and evolve if they want to survive and grow. This, in a nutshell, is what Millionaire Summit will convey to them”. 

The Summit will address different issues faced by UAE entrepreneurs in today's kaleidoscopic business dynamics where traditional practices demands constant innovative tweaking. Local and international market specialists will share tips and insights on building successful business out of shoestring budgets, the role of social media in capturing global markets, strategies for fast results, generating multiple avenues of income, converting passion into business and the use of webinars and forex, among other various topics.
