Marwan bin Jassim Al Sarkal, CEO of Shurooq, said, "In recent years, Shurooq has been able to solidify Sharjah’s position as one of the region’s premier investment and business destinations. The unparalleled support of the wise leadership has enabled Shurooq to provide a unique investment environment, encouraging investors to start up their businesses across all sectors." Ihsan Qatawneh, Chairman of the Jordanian Business Council in the UAE, said, "Sharjah was always at the forefront in positioning itself as a central investment destination for Jordanians across Middle East and North Africa region, MENA. ." The forum plays a fundamental role bringing together a series of the region’s top decision makers to create a more integrated economy among one another, booming from Sharjah, and witnessing a successful growth in our economic bilateral ties."." Mohammed Juma Al Musharrakh, Director of Invest in Sharjah, said, "Our priority is to encourage Arab investors to either start or expand their businesses in Sharjah.."
