Emphasising that failure is an essential part of innovation, the Chief Minister said setbacks should be viewed as valuable lessons rather than reasons to give up. “These are practical solutions developed by youngsters who have identified real problems and are trying to innovate meaningful solutions. Assuring entrepreneurs of the government’s backing, Omar said the administration is willing to move beyond its traditionally risk-averse approach to encourage innovation and entrepreneurship. The only thing we are afraid of is not providing enough support to all of you,” he added. He thanked entrepreneurs, innovators, mentors, investors and other participants for attending the three-day summit and wished them success.—(KNO)
