As part of the current edition of the "Make it in the Emirates", held at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), Sharjah FDI Office (Invest in Sharjah) and the Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTI Park) are jointly participating with a joint pavilion with the goal of highlighting Sharjah’s growing role in industrial innovation and advanced manufacturing.

This joint presence falls under the umbrella of the "Innovate in Sharjah" initiative, reflecting the emirate’s commitment to providing an integrated environment that brings together smart infrastructure, government support, and international partnerships to enable the industrial sector to embrace the Fourth Industrial Revolution.

A special highlight of the Sharjah Pavilion is the participation of SoiLab – SRTI Park’s open innovation lab – which is showcasing its latest capabilities in advanced manufacturing using 3D printing technologies and smart materials. SoiLab is presenting practical solutions to manufacturers and investors to support traditional factories in their journey towards smart industrial transformation.

This participation comes at a pivotal time as SoiLab enters a new phase of expansion and modernisation, while welcoming emerging industrial and tech companies seeking services in rapid prototyping, agile manufacturing, and customised product development.
