The center has greatly increased administra-tive efficiency by reducing transac-tion completion times by 25 percent through the use of cutting-edge and creative technologies.Hamad Al Shamsi, Manager of the SAEED Center, stated that since its inception, the center has gained trust and credibility among business owners and investors by providing a conducive environment for success, which is closely aligned with Shar-jah's overall economic development goals.He stated that the new branch at SRTIP was motivated by its strategic convenience and ideal location, which is located between Sharjah Interna-tional Airport, University City, and the emirate's free zones, making it easily accessible to entrepreneurs.Al Shamsi added, "Investor and business service centers are integral in modern economies, and entrepre-neurs require easy access to reliable market data to understand trends and identify opportunities. These centers also facilitate connections with busi-nesses, institutions, and relevant gov-ernment entities, thereby promoting business growth".According to the statement, the opening of the new branch coincides with Sharjah's economic expansion and notable growth in the emirate's various sectors. In 2024, the emirate's free zones attracted over 1,600 com-panies from around the world, fueling a growing demand for specialized services to help entrepreneurs and businesses.
