startup ecosystem in Sharjah. “The Ramadan Majlis is a yearly reminder of Sharjah's

commitment to shaping the future through innovation, entrepreneurship, and

committed to empowering these changemakers and providing them with the support,
resources, and community they need to scale their impact. Together, we continue to
build a future where Sharjah is a global hub for talent, opportunity, and sustainable
growth.”

Hussain Al Mahmoudi, CEO of SRTI Park, explained how the park facilitates
collaboration between research institutions and the private sector to drive industrial

innovation and build a knowledge-based economy. He stated: “SRTI Park is a platform
where collaboration is the foundation of progress. Partnership sits at the core of our
mission where we bridge institutions and companies in the private sector by aligning
R&D, skills, resources, and vision to empower industrial innovation. By fostering

synergies between cutting-edge research and market-driven enterprises, we facilitate

facilities and incentives in artificial intelligence and technology. The platform will

enable key stakeholders in research, development, and high-tech manufacturing to
