Sharjah: The Sharjah Entrepreneurship Centre (Sheraa), in collaboration with the Dubai Future Foundation, hosted a delegation of founders representing Italy’s leading start-ups at its headquarters in Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTI Park) last week, as part of its mission to develop the entrepreneurial ecosystem in the emirate. During the visit, 11 start-up founders from diverse industries and sectors in Italy were offered an insight into the varied facilities, programmes and initiatives that Sheraa offers to support aspiring and established entrepreneurs in Sharjah, UAE, and across the MENA region. As an enabling platform that fosters innovation and supports entrepreneurs with business fundamentals to build scalable solutions, Sheraa exchanged relevant information on the start-up ecosystem in Sharjah, highlighted its best practices, and offered key insights of its experience in the innovation and entrepreneurship sector. The visit also enabled Sheraa to explore investment and partnership opportunities with the Italian founders to expand their business operations in the emirate.
