The Sharjah Research, Technology, and Innovation Park Free Zone aims to enhance the innovation, research and development ecosystem by including special free zones. It aims to support research start-ups and technologists in testing their products and services effectively. The SRTIP Freezone aims to support entrepreneurs in achieving sustainability. The free zone will act as a base for all research and development activities and as a testing ground for future technologies.
The goal is to attract companies looking to expand in the Middle East and Eastern Europe region, with a particular focus on renewable energy, the environment, mobility and smart cities, digitalization, architecture/industrial 4.0, and life sciences. SRTIP has successfully positioned itself as a key innovation hub for access to public and private projects in the UAE and for networking with key stakeholders for access to Middle East ecosystems.

SRTIP Freezone offers its business units the possibility of dual licensing.
