The Sharjah Chamber of Commerce and Industry (SCCI) has signed a memorandum of understanding with Infopark Kochi for the setting up of a science and technology innovation centre there.
The centre is envisaged to be a platform to provide access to Sharjah-based businesses to top-end talent and knowledge-based resources in Kerala across world-class companies and reputed universities catering to conventional and emerging technologies.
Infopark CEO Siddhartha Bhattacharya, said the presence of the Sharjah centre would help produce business development opportunities and establish new alliances between organizations on either side.
According to SCCI chairman Ahmed Mohammed Al Midfa, the main objective of setting up the centre was to help small and medium enterprises in Sharjah to help conduct research and development work to bring to market innovative products and services in a cost-effective manner.
He said India had been a major trading partner of the UAE and thus an ideal choice for a venture of this sort, and that Kerala was home to a number of leading research institutes working in areas like space technology, biotechnology and engineering sciences.
The centre is expected to be operational in the first quarter of 2010.
