UAE's Khalifa Fund launches youth cybersecurity summer programme

The Khalifa Fund for Enterprise Development partnered with the UAE Cyber Security Council to deliver specialised cybersecurity awareness sessions as part of the Future Entrepreneur Programme 2026 summer camp. The programme, held across Abu Dhabi, Al Ain and Al Dhafra, targets children and young people aged four to 18 and is organised into four learning stages – Young Innovators, Foundation, Intermediate and Advanced.

Sessions cover personal data protection, safeguarding digital identities, safe use of online platforms and applications, and how to recognise and mitigate common cyber risks. By integrating cybersecurity concepts with entrepreneurship training, the initiative seeks to equip participants with the skills needed for the digital economy and to protect the digital assets of future businesses. The camp combines interactive workshops, mentoring, project showcases and concludes with a graduation ceremony where certificates are awarded.
