Under the patronage of Emirates NBD, legislative initiatives were showcased in Sharjah. Sarah Al-Naimi stated that this will facilitate companies' understanding of the requirements of different markets. Hamad Zayed noted that providing international founders with practical and clear guidelines enhances the international presence of the 'Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival 2026'. The festival strengthens its global standing through the 'International Pavilions' zone, which cements the festival's position as a regional gateway for company establishment and global growth. This zone directly connects international founders with Sharjah's legislative, investment, and regulatory ecosystem in one integrated framework. It offers an advanced model for how startups can transition from the exploration phase to decision-making by providing clear pathways for establishment, expansion, and scaling.
