Supported by the Ministry, Shams works with the business community to contribute to the growth and development of the Emirate of Sharjah's ecosystem. A commitment to fostering creativity and entrepreneurship defines the mission of the FEZ - to make creativity-related businesses more accessible to shape the future of the region's media sphere and business environment.
The multifunctional media city is happy to open its doors to foreign professionals and entrepreneurs, offering an infrastructure of international standards and a number of key resources for creating the highest quality content. The FEZ is attracting an increasing number of investors looking to set up businesses in the UAE. Several distinctive features contribute to this. For example, affordable registration fees, availability of a large package of visa quotas, a wide range of activities in one licence, location within a 10-minute drive from Sharjah International Airport, and others.
Shams creates a dynamic and collaborative environment, bringing together entrepreneurs and like-minded individuals to breathe life into innovative ideas. This is facilitated by flexible offices and workspaces, co-working spaces and a variety of business events.
