The world’s billionaires saw their fortunes soar by $434 BILLION during the lockdown between mid-March and mid-May, whilst many are hanging by a thread.

Every crisis has its beneficiaries, typically those who have the means to take higher risks and an ability to best forecast what happens next.

The problem the world faces needs treatment. The challenges created by the current problem can still be turned into opportunities with the right set of circumstances and actions.

These widescale challenges today, whilst compounded by economy interconnectedness through globalization, need NOT be tackled ALONE by businesses or entrepreneurs.

Co-investing in entrepreneurial ideas, incubating innovative projects and creative cross-sector strategic partnerships can accelerate business growth in these challenging times.

Lootah Holding’s entrepreneurial program, “LINC” (Lootah Innovation and Networking Community), is primed to launch. It is a platform to connect, learn, and ultimately partner with startups, early ventures, or growing SMEs to bring, and accelerate, new ideas to the market. LINC is a platform for UAE market insights, bringing together professionals, thought leaders and subject matter experts through forums, seminars and networking events.

Most important for business is not surviving the economic collapse due to the crisis, but inventing opportunity from it. The modern economy is complicated with an abundance of entangled issues. Managing and creating opportunities are not limited to just wealth, but human resources and technology. Courage and the spirit of adventure are the two best traits one could own in making your own fortune during this challenging time!
