Sharjah Research Technology and Innovation Park (SRTIP) is a free zone built specifically around research, development and innovation-sector companies, with a direct connection to Sharjah's university and research-institute community.
What SRTIP is built for
SRTIP licenses R&D-focused companies, technology startups, and innovation-sector businesses, particularly those with a genuine research or product-development component rather than pure trading or consulting activity. Its location and connections to nearby academic and research institutions are a specific draw for companies wanting proximity to research talent and facilities.
Costs and what drives them
SRTIP's standard office and flexi-desk packages are broadly comparable to other Sharjah free zones, with dedicated lab or R&D facility space priced separately and reflecting the specific technical infrastructure involved. Model a standard package with this site's Business Setup Cost Calculator, and engage SRTIP directly for research-facility-specific quotes.
Is SRTIP the right fit?
If your business genuinely involves research, product development or innovation-sector activity, and proximity to Sharjah's academic and research community matters to you, SRTIP is a strong sector-specific choice. For general trading or service activity without an R&D component, this site's Free Zone vs Mainland Tool can point toward a more cost-effective general zone.
