An all-new issue of Entrepreneur Middle East is here, and on the cover is Dr Kevin K., the CEO of Falcons Group (Falcons), a UAE-based platform specializing in the auction and private sale of luxury and rare collectibles. With Falcons’ most extravagant auction yet scheduled to take place at the iconic Burj Al Arab on September 28, 2024, Dr. Khalili believes his company has what it takes to become a trailblazer in this space. But there is a special new addition to his company’s portfolio that has left him and his team *particularly* excited for the future: rare sports collectibles! “We are proud to be the first to champion sports card collecting in this part of the world,” he shares. “Falcons is setting the standard with live sports card breaking—an engaging and dynamic experience where collectors witness the unveiling of rare cards in real time.” Also in this issue: a special op-ed from AlDhabi AlMheiri, the 10-year-old founder of UAE-based Rainbow Chimney, who reveals the secrets behind balancing school work and running a business. Plus, we take a behind-the-scenes look at KSA-based Yalla Plus’ US$2.7 million in seed funding, which is expected to catalyze the tech startup’s aim to further empower the Kingdom’s hospitality sector. Get all the details on how the all-new Nissan Motor Corporation (Nissan) Patrol, which was unveiled at an event in Abu Dhabi, is set to kickstart the global automobile giant’s global business plan. In a special section that puts a spotlight on global markets, we bring to you a brief look at how the UK startup ecosystem is slowly but surely becoming a entrepreneurial hotspot--to do this, we briefly profile the country’s top 10 unicorns as well as its top 10 most active venture capital firms. Also catch up on all the updates -including the full list of winners- from the Sustainability Innovation Awards 2024, which was held on August 30, 2024, to celebrate all the innovative initiatives that contribute to the environmental, social, and economic development in the MENA. Contributors to this month’s edition include Mark Sephton, who explains why founders recharging with a month-long sabbatical is key to sustained business growth, and Jay Shaholia, who shares how the culture of overworking can be fixed.
