Sharjah Startup Studio opens applications

Sharjah Startup Studio (S3), the flagship programme by the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center (Sheraa), has opened applications for its next cohort. The four-month cycle will begin in October 2025, with 20 startups selected from across the UAE.

Open to early-stage startups in sectors such as sustainability, advanced manufacturing, edtech, and the creative economy, the programme offers equity-free support, mentorship, and access to over $800,000 in resources and in-kind services.

Positioned as a launchpad for founders in the UAE, S3 supports Sheraa’s broader mission to drive innovation and entrepreneurship in Sharjah and the wider region.
