Why it matters

A campus that builds founders

Entrepreneurship at LSBU Ajman is hands-on. Students learn by building: interviewing customers, shipping prototypes, pricing an offer and pitching to people who have done it before.

The Incubation Centre brings that together in one place - a front door for students, staff, mentors and partners who want to back the next generation of UAE founders.
