About us

His Highness Sheikh Dr. Sultan bin Mohammed Al Qasimi, Member of the Supreme Council of the United Arab Emirates, Ruler of Sharjah, gave a directive to the AUS Enterprises (AUSE) to establish Sharjah’s fist Open Innovation Lab at the Sharjah Science, Research, Technology and Innovation (SRTI) Park. The collective vision was to keep the Emirate of Sharjah at the competitive forefront of technological development. By promoting and commercializing new innovative ideas SoiLAB will bring technical innovation and entrepreneurship to the highest international levels in Sharjah. Sharjah Open Innovation Lab (SoiLAB) is nestled strategically in the heart of SRTI Park surrounded by the University City, school areas and an exponentially growing industry presence in the airport Free Zone. It is well placed to become the central hub for innovation that connects all stakeholders under one roof.
