AI automation, AI agents and custom AI for Sharjah's SRTIP and SME businesses. Give your team its hours back. Remote-first, project-based pricing.
Sharjah is the cultural capital of the Arab world (a UNESCO designation the emirate has held since 1998), and the third-largest city in the UAE. While Dubai and Abu Dhabi compete for global business headlines, Sharjah has carved out a distinct identity built on cultural preservation, education, and accessible entrepreneurship. The Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTIP) is a thriving free zone that offers businesses lower setup and operating costs than Dubai, making it particularly attractive to startups, SMEs, and education-sector companies.
The University City of Sharjah houses multiple institutions including the American University of Sharjah and the University of Sharjah, producing a steady stream of graduates in engineering, computer science, and business. This academic infrastructure supports a growing local tech community. Sharjah's publishing industry is also notable. The emirate hosts the Sharjah International Book Fair, the world's third-largest, and the Sharjah Publishing City Free Zone caters specifically to media and content companies.
For businesses, Sharjah offers the advantages of the UAE ecosystem (zero personal income tax, strong infrastructure, and access to the wider Gulf market) at a cost point that is substantially lower than neighboring Dubai. Many companies establish their headquarters in Sharjah while serving clients across the entire UAE. EIGHTY8 helps exactly this kind of lean, cost-conscious company compete on output rather than headcount. We are a Netherlands-based, remote-first AI automation and consultancy studio: we build AI agents and workflow automations that take over repetitive work (enquiry handling, quotation follow-up, order administration, and content and publishing workflows for Sharjah's media and education sectors) with bilingual Arabic-English support throughout. Web development supports the same goal: when a professional, mobile-first site is part of the plan, we can put one live in 48 hours. Every engagement is delivered remotely and quoted per project.
