Sharjah: The Sharjah FDI office (Invest in Sharjah), the agency responsible for promoting investment opportunities in the emirate, recently concluded its participation at the inaugurating edition of the Foreign Direct Investment Expo 2016 (FDI Expo) in London, UK, which took place from November 17 — 18, 2016 at the London Olympia exhibition venue.
FDI Expo gathered more than 3,500 speakers and visitors, and served as a key platform for (Invest in Sharjah), an investment promotion agency under the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq) umbrella, to demonstrate competencies on multiple markets in Sharjah, as well as to highlight its role as the “Industrial Capital” of the UAE. The Expo explored strategic global FDI ventures which the UK can benefit from especially during its “Post-Brexit” period, with “Invest in Sharjah” being at the forefront introducing new initiatives and ways that British investors can capitalise on their foreign investments across a series of markets in Sharjah, especially in its ever emerging industrial sector.
“Keeping track with the latest trends and investment opportunities with UK markets has always been our top our priority to sustain the strength of our relationships with British investors. Our participation at the FDI Expo enabled us to do so, as well as enabled us to share our “Invest in Sharjah” brand and its vision to a crowd of the most industry leading experts from 80 regions,” said Mohammad Al Musharrkh, Director of Sharjah FDI Office.
He added: “We highlighted some of the main drivers that have positioned Sharjah as the “Industrial Capital” in the UAE, including legislations and tax-free operations, and shared key insights on how these advantages position Sharjah as a strategic partner for UK markets and investors when going global with their investments.”
