SHARJAH, 9th March, 2025 (WAM) -- The Sharjah Ramadan Majlis 2025 convened on Thursday in
Mleiha, focusing on Sharjah’s industrial future and its impact on regional and local economic
growth, especially regarding manufacturing.

Under the theme “Sharjah: Shaping the Future, Empowering Growth", the event convened in the
presence of Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, President of American University of Sharjah; Dr.
Thani bin Ahmed Al Zeyoudi, Minister of State for Foreign Trade; and Sheikh Fahim Al Qasimi,
Chairman of the Department of Government Relations in Sharjah.
In her welcoming address, Sheikha Bodour Al Qasimi emphasised the importance of the Majlis in
bringing government entities and stakeholders together within Sharjah’s ecosystem.

She said: “Sharjah’s future depends on our ability to thoughtfully integrate innovation with
sustainability, ensuring our heritage informs our progress, rather than limits it. The Ramadan Majlis
symbolises this commitment, serving as a dynamic space for dialogue where we collectively
explore pathways to inclusive growth. Each partnership formed and each idea shared moves us
closer to a future that honours our values, supports entrepreneurs, and creates lasting economic
resilience for generations to come.”

This year’s Majlis was organised by Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq),
Sharjah FDI Office (Invest in Sharjah), the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center (Sheraa), and the
Sharjah Research, Technology, and Innovation Park (SRTI Park). This high-profile gathering brought
together an impressive array of senior government officials from the UAE’s Ministry of Economy
