The emirate of Sharjah, one of the prime industrial destinations in the Middle East and North Africa has made a striking impact at India’s Vibrant Gujarat Global Summit 2017, one of the nation’s most important business forums. As home to the region’s largest industrial areas, the Sharjah FDI Office (Invest in Sharjah), the promotional arm of the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), occupied a significant area of the expo, with many of the department’s teams describing the exceptional investment advantages and business opportunities to a number of high-profile overseas decision-makers.
Based at the immense and impressive stand, the many ‘Invest in Sharjah’ representatives at the event explained the importance of the industrial sector as a main driver for the emirate’s economy. Sharjah has constructed sophisticated infrastructures for air and seaports over the years, as well as a network of roads and highways. This has facilitated the flow of export and re-export of all commodities produced in Sharjah, and contributed to establishing the emirate as an industrial gateway between East and West.
A strong contingent of ministers and industrialists from the Invest in Sharjah delegation was headed by Mohammad Al Musharrkh, Director of Invest in Sharjah and also included a number of directors and officials from Sharjah’s governmental departments as well as senior executives from the private sector.
