Sharjah launches region's first government-led M&A platform to unlock growth
H.E. Mohamed Juma Al Musharrkh, CEO of Invest in Sharjah The Sharjah FDI Office (Invest in Sharjah), in partnership with Transworld Business Advisors, has launched Sharjah AcquireHub: the region's first government-led digital platform designed to streamline mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the emirate. Specialising in M&A activity, the platform is accessible to local, regional, and international investors and offers end-to-end support for SMEs, entrepreneurs, and corporates in Sharjah seeking growth, repositioning, or strategic exits. The initiative comes as M&A activity gains momentum globally and regionally. According to Bain & Company, global M&A transactions reached $3.5tn in 2024, while EY reported 701 regional deals totalling $92.3bn last year. Sharjah AcquireHub connects capital with high-potential opportunities and enhances market liquidity through a secure digital environment. The process includes seamless online registration, tailored advisory services, and post-deal support: all underpinned by confidentiality safeguards, including NDAs and rigorous due diligence. 'This platform reinforces Sharjah's role as a regional hub for smart investment and M&A in the SME sector,' said H.E. Mohamed Juma Al Musharrkh, CEO of Invest in Sharjah. 'Through this collaboration, we are opening new pathways for domestic and international investors while aligning with Sharjah's long-term development vision.' The launch follows an MoU between Invest in Sharjah and Transworld UAE, signed in the presence of H.E. Ahmed Obaid Al Qaseer, CEO of Shurooq. As part of the partnership, Transworld will deliver M&A readiness workshops, international matchmaking programmes, and targeted global roadshows to promote acquisition opportunities in Sharjah. Ahmed Ibrahim, CEO of Transworld UAE, noted: 'We are confident in the long-term impact this platform will have in enhancing the investment landscape and unlocking new growth opportunities. Strategic partnerships and digital transformation are critical to the next phase of economic advancement.' Transworld Business Advisors is a recognised leader in M&A advisory, having completed over 2,500 deals in 2024, with a presence in 27 countries and more than 1,000 dealmakers. Sharjah's SME sector, which makes up over 94 per cent of the UAE's businesses, is a core focus. In 2024, the emirate issued over 71,000 new and renewed licences, marking a 7 per cent year-on-year increase. With a clear emphasis on enabling exits, growth, and capital redeployment, Sharjah AcquireHub is a timely addition to the region's digital infrastructure — aligning investor interests with Sharjah's diversification agenda and cementing the emirate's position as a gateway to the M&A market.
