The Sharjah Government Relations Department organized an official business trip to India, which included representatives from various local entities and institutions. This initiative was carried out in collaboration with the Sharjah Foreign Direct Investment Office, known as “Invest in Sharjah,” and the Confederation of Indian Industry. The primary aim was to strengthen economic partnerships between the business communities of Sharjah and India, as well as to explore potential collaboration and investment opportunities across developmental sectors such as technology, services, industry, and culture.
The official delegation was led by Sheikh Fahim Al Qasimi, the head of the Government Relations Department. Alongside him were Mohammed Jumaa Al Musharrakh, the CEO of “Invest in Sharjah,” Marwan Saleh Al Aijla, Director of Investment Promotion and Support at the office, Saif Mohammed Al Suwaidi, Director of the Sharjah Publishing Free Zone, and Mohammed Bani Hamad, Director of Business Development and Marketing at the Sharjah Research, Technology, and Innovation Park.
This visit is part of the growing economic ties between Sharjah and various Indian states and cities. Indian investments have contributed to the creation of over 3,600 jobs over the past five years. Additionally, the transactions from Indian investors in the Sharjah real estate sector amounted to 6.1 billion dirhams during the first nine months of 2025, underscoring the increasing confidence in the emirate’s investment climate and its appeal to international investors.
