Sharjah’s Onshur Disrupt Track is calling on visionary tech founders whose products can redefine the future of publishing. From AI-driven editing and translation to automation, analytics, and new content formats, we’re scouting for technologies that empower publishers and transform the publishing sector.
 
Selected ventures will gain access to strategic investment opportunities designed to accelerate their entry into the Arab region and scale globally. The Disrupt Track connects tech founders directly with the Middle East’s fast-growing publishing ecosystem, offering partnerships, funding, and visibility through Sharjah’s leadership in cultural and creative industries.
 
Sharjah stands at the crossroads of culture and commerce. As the UAE’s cultural capital and UNESCO World Book Capital 2019, it has cultivated a thriving ecosystem for publishers, writers, and innovators. With global connectivity, economic stability, and a strong commitment to sustainability, Sharjah offers an ideal base for ventures seeking to expand into the Middle East and beyond.
 
At the heart of this opportunity lies Sharjah Publishing City Free Zone — the world’s first free zone dedicated to publishing and content industries. Offering 100% foreign ownership, tax-efficient solutions, and state-of-the-art facilities, SPC serves as a one-stop platform for over 1,500 business activities and a launchpad for innovation, collaboration, and long-term growth.
 
If your technology can scale and serve the publishing ecosystem, now is the time to pitch. Applications are open until 31 December 2025.
