Key Facts About Sharjah Research, Technology & Innovation Park
Why SRTIP in Sharjah?
Sharjah Research, Technology & Innovation Park is deep-tech, R&D and innovation ecosystem, positioned in Sharjah with a licensing framework built around r&d centres, greentech & water and advanced manufacturing. SRTIP wires companies into Sharjah's universities — talent, labs and applied research on tap.
Like every UAE free zone, SRTIP offers 100% foreign ownership, full repatriation of capital and profits, and 0% personal income tax. Qualifying free zone income can benefit from the 0% corporate tax rate under the UAE Corporate Tax regime, while non-qualifying income above AED 375,000 is taxed at 9% — GoldenKey's tax team structures this correctly from day one.
GoldenKey maps your real business model onto SRTIP's official activity list, prepares the MOA and application forms, obtains approvals, and delivers a license that banks, landlords and clients accept without question — with a fixed written quote before any commitment.
