Asharqia Chamber is continuing its preparations to host the “Shour Dulani Asharqia 2026” Forum on the evenings of next Tuesday and Wednesday, August 25 and 26 of this year, held under the patronage of the Governor of the Eastern Province, His Royal Highness Prince Saud bin Naif bin Abdulaziz, at the Chamber’s main headquarters. The Forum is organized through a joint collaboration between the Dulani Business Center (an initiative of the Social Development Bank) and Asharqia Chamber, represented by the Asharqia Young Businessmen Council.
This economic forum aims to stimulate the entrepreneurship ecosystem in the Eastern Province by providing specialized advisory support to the owners of startups and small and medium enterprises and to those nurturing entrepreneurial ideas. The Forum seeks to accelerate the growth of establishments, raise their operational efficiency, and strengthen governance and risk management among entrepreneurs and owners of creative ideas.
For his part, Chairman of Asharqia Chamber’s Board of Directors, Fahad bin Abdullah Al-Farraj, affirmed that the patronage of the Governor of the Eastern Province reflects the great attention the leadership gives to empowering the private sector and small and medium enterprises. The Forum also represents a practical step toward turning challenges into successful investment opportunities and strengthening national partnerships among the various sectors to advance the local economy. Al-Farraj stressed the importance of integrating knowledge and experience in shaping the success of entrepreneurial projects, explaining that the partnership with the Dulani Business Center aims to deliver high-quality programs that raise the readiness of business owners and equip them with the skills and management solutions needed to ensure the sustainability of their projects and keep pace with labor market requirements.
Al-Farraj noted that the region’s most prominent advisory event brings together more than 100 seasoned consultants and experts, with 50 consultants participating per day, to provide direct solutions and consultations in 14 key sectors.
