The “Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival 2026” will take place on January 31 and February 1, 2026, featuring a variety of initiatives and programs aimed at promoting startups.
This year, the festival introduces a new “Business Establishment” package, which includes a dedicated entrepreneurship program focused on the food and beverage sector, as well as opportunities for business meetings and a range of cultural, entertainment, and community events.
Organized by the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center (Shorak), the festival will bring together 35 global brands and local companies within the Sharjah Research, Technology, and Innovation Park, offering a vibrant program with live performances featuring renowned personalities, influencers, and creatives.
A new “Business Establishment” package has been created for the current edition, in collaboration with Shorak, the Sharjah Research, Technology, and Innovation Park, Emirates NBD, and du for Business. The commercial license begins at a cost of 1,000 AED.
This exclusive offer during the festival is available to the first 100 qualifying startups, which must be technology-focused and operate within one of six sectors: sustainability, creative industries, educational technology, advanced manufacturing, health technology, and transportation.
The newly introduced “Business Establishment” package, part of the “Startup City” initiative organized by the festival, aims to assist entrepreneurs in transitioning from concept to official business establishment directly at the festival. It enables startup founders to take concrete steps in launching their companies while connecting with investors and partners in the entrepreneurial ecosystem.
