Sharjah Advances Healthcare Innovation through strategic partnerships at SRTIP

The Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTIP) has signed three landmark memoranda of understanding with leading health and sustainability organizations, signaling a bold step in the emirate’s mission to become a regional leader in healthcare innovation. The signing ceremony, held under the patronage of Sheikha Bodour bint Sultan Al Qasimi, Chairperson and President of SRTIP, marked a defining moment in Sharjah’s long term innovation strategy. 

The new agreements with Emirates Health Services (EHS), Sharjah Health Authority (SHA), and the BEEAH Group lay the groundwork for a collaborative, research driven ecosystem aimed at accelerating medical breakthroughs, regulatory agility, and sustainable healthcare solutions. 

“These strategic MoUs lay the foundation for long-term, impactful collaboration in healthcare R&D,” said Hussain Al Mahmoudi, CEO of SRTIP. “By joining hands with institutions such as EHS, SHA, and BEEAH, we aim to accelerate healthcare innovation and make Sharjah a beacon for sustainable medical advancements that benefit the UAE and the wider region.” 

The agreement with EHS, signed by Director-General Dr. Yousif Mohammad Al Serkal, formalizes a wide-ranging partnership spanning innovation translation, clinical collaboration, and prototype development. The entities will cohost health tech forums and integrate startups into the national healthcare system, driving patient-focused innovation. 

In partnership with SHA, SRTIP will help launch a dedicated clinical research center and regulatory sandbox to test and fast-track emerging medical technologies. Meanwhile, the agreement with sustainability pioneer BEEAH Group introduces a new healthcare R&D hub focused on digital health, telemedicine, and sustainable medical waste solutions. With these alliances in place, Sharjah is well on its way to becoming a leading hub for healthcare research, innovation, and sustainable development in the region.
