The Sharjah Economic Development Department (SEDD) launched the ‘Sharjah Industrial Guide’ project as part of its 2017 strategic plan to develop the industrial sector and ease its procedures in the Emirate of Sharjah, in addition to the Emirate holding the largest industrial base in the country and the region.
The project was launched through a workshop held in the department headquarters, to which many authorities and entities contributed, such as the Sharjah City Municipality, Department of Sea Ports and Customs, Sharjah Electricity and Water Authority (SEWA) Directorate of Town Planning and Survey, Ministry of Economy, Sharjah Civil Defence, as well as Ministry of Human
Resources and Emiratisation.
On the occasion, Sultan Abdullah bin Hadda Al Suwaidi, SEDD Chairman, said, “The economic vision that the department adopts pertains to sustainable development and, according to the Executive Council, works on the development of the industrial sector and facilitates procedures through such a guide.”
He added that such a guide reflects the vision of SEDD to lead the comprehensive development of the diversified competitive knowledge-based economy in a way that ensures an encouraging and stimulating business environment and investment based on the economic well-being of Sharjah.
In addition, he pointed out that the “Sharjah Industrial Guide” project was set to achieve the economic well-being of the Emirate through the best international standards in terms of ease of approach and clarity and within the framework of improving the performance of government institutions and develop working mechanisms.
He said that Sharjah is considered an ideal investment environment, especially in the industrial sector, as it provides investors with facilitates and high-quality services. It is also considered a perfect investment environment due to its strategic location, owning many industrial areas, ports on the Arabian Gulf and the Gulf of Oman, as well as a modern international airport.
