TEHRAN – Iran will take center stage in the first phase of a new museum dedicated to international entrepreneurs being built in Dubai, with busts of 20 Iranian business leaders to be installed, the United Network of Business Entrepreneurs and Development Organization (UNBEDO) said.

The project, launched by UNBEDO in partnership with Golchin Holding, is under construction inside Dubai’s Global Village, one of the emirate’s largest tourist and trade complexes.

UNBEDO chief executive Reza Yadegari said the site was designed to strengthen investment links and business partnerships between Iranian entrepreneurs and international investors. He described the initiative as the group’s largest networking project to date.

“In the first phase, busts of 20 prominent Iranian entrepreneurs will be created and installed,” Yadegari said. “Also, busts of entrepreneurs from more than 90 countries will be added.”

The museum is also expected to include statues and reconstructed offices of leading global figures such as Bill Gates and Elon Musk.

“The goal is to introduce our [Iranian] entrepreneurs to millions of visitors and to create a setting for shared experience and joint investment,” he said.
