Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park launches healthcare hub to attract AI startups
Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTI Park) in the UAE is setting up a healthcare hub to appeal to startups and SMEs that specialise in AI-based diagnostics, medical devices used in rehabilitation, and training.
The technology park, which to date has attracted nearly 7,000 companies specialising in different technological fields, is also seeking to identify areas of cooperation with government bodies, academia, and industry.
The healthcare hub will target entities with offerings that include advanced research laboratories for R&D, incubation centres offering resources and mentorship for healthtech, collaborative workspaces, and funding and investment opportunities that facilitate connections with investors and VCs interested in healthtech.
