Sharjah24: 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.
