Sharjah, United Arab Emirates. Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTI Park) is preparing to host the MENA Innovation Technology Transfer Summit (MITT Summit) for the second time. This comes in a year when SRTI Park secured its position on the global stage by signing a memorandum of understanding with VITO, the influential Belgium-based research and technology organisation for sustainable development.

 VITO is also the coordinator of G-STIC, the Global Sustainable Technology and Innovation Community, with whom SRTI Park has entered into a strategic partnership for organising the G-STIC Conference in Dubai and the MITT Summit in Sharjah. SRTI Park’s close association with these two major events will substantially elevate its international profile.

He stated: “The MITT Summit is in line with ‘the vision that anticipates the future’ being advocated by His Highness Dr Sheikh Sultan bin Mohammad Al Qasimi, Member of the UAE Supreme Council and Ruler of Sharjah.
