Asrar Damdam

“I am Asrar Damdam.  I am the founder and CEO of Uvera.  In Uvera, we introduce a technology that extends the shelf-life of fresh food up to 63%, on average, without any chemicals and within only 30 seconds of processing.

My story with Community Jameel started in March 2020, while attending the MIT Enterprise Forum and the Start Smart Conference, where Uvera was shortlisted within the semi-finalists within the MIT Enterprise Forum Start-up Competition.  And since then, we’ve been involved in some workshops and activities that were organized by Community Jameel in collaboration with King Abdulla University for Science and Technology (KAUST) and King Abdulla Economic City (KAEC). 

During these two events, the MIT Enterprise Forum and the Start Smart Conference, that was hosted by Community Jameel, we get the opportunity to meet a lot of investors and also to collect feedback from consumers and visitors to the conference and that helped us a lot to have more insight on how to improve our product further.  

Community Jameel is a prime example for corporate excellence, and we wish Community Jameel a happy 75th anniversary and many more years of success.”
