Sharjah is the industrial heartland of the UAE, accounting for more then 40% of the country's industrial GDP. Its geographic location has led to a unique integration of land, sea and air links. This in turn offers unbeatable logistical, warehousing and distribution advantages. The only emirate with seaports on the Arabian Gulf and the Indian Ocean, Sharjah has carved a niche in the sea-air traffic sector, experiencing growth rates of more than 50% in the last few years.

Sharjah Airport International Free Zone (SAIF-Zone) and the Airport have been instrumental in helping Sharjah's economy scale new peaks. SAIF-Zone is the fastest growing airport free zone in the region, while the international airport has gained an enviable reputation as a leading cargo hub.

Speed, reliability and cost-effectiveness have been the cornerstones of Sharjah's industrial policy. A stable government, proactive policies, solid industrial base and an attractive incentives package have drawn a very high proportion of foreign investments into Sharjah in recent years.
