Our Story – The Beginning of RAK Entrepreneurs

RAK Entrepreneurs was born out of a simple yet powerful belief: that entrepreneurship is the cornerstone of innovation and economic growth in Ras Al Khaimah. Georgina Kelly, recognized the untapped potential in the region’s entrepreneurial spirit. She envisioned a platform where passionate individuals could come together, share their experiences, and build something greater than themselves. Georgina, then began her search to collaborate along with a group of like-minded business leaders where the idea wasn’t just to support businesses—it was to foster a thriving community where entrepreneurs could grow, collaborate, and make a lasting impact.
