Sharjah Media City (Shams) was launched in February 2017 to act as a catalyst for creative and media businesses to grow and thrive. Aiming to be a world-class media hub for innovative facilities and services, Shams covers a wide range of business activities available for those wishing to embark on their entrepreneurial journey in the UAE.

With an infrastructure that emulates international standards, Shams aims to be a regional leader across fields of media and creativity whilst providing a variety of resources to generate high-quality content. Shams services are curated to create cost-effective solutions for SMEs, established companies and freelancers that can help them easily embark on their entrepreneurial journey.

Under the umbrella of Shams, businesses have the opportunity to choose from a wide range of business activities. The free zone over the years has attracted foreign direct investment from across the globe. The goal is to produce future change makers who will use the knowledge and experience at Shams across global platforms, thus paving the way for generations to come. 

In everything Shams does, the community comes first. Doing something for the benefit of the community is eventually for the benefit of Shams. Within a thriving community, the clients and their customers will feel empowered and inspired. Fostering the community also means attending to the individual needs of our members.
