In a major step toward modernizing business deals in the region, the Sharjah FDI Office (Invest in Sharjah) has officially launched Sharjah AcquireHub, the first government-led digital platform for mergers and acquisitions (M&A) in the Middle East.
This first-of-its-kind initiative aims to revolutionize how investors, startups, and SMEs connect in Sharjah, offering them a secure and streamlined environment for M&A transactions, all from a single digital gateway.
A Strategic Partnership for Smarter Deals
The platform came about in collaboration with Transworld Business Advisors, a global M&A advisory leader. The partnership was solidified through a signed MoU between:
- H.E. Mohamed Juma Al Musharrkh, CEO of Invest in Sharjah
- Ahmad Ibrahim, CEO of Transworld GCC
This significant agreement was inked in the presence of H.E. Ahmed Obaid Al Qaseer, CEO of Shurooq, marking a milestone for investment infrastructure in the region.

Sharjah AcquireHub is more than just a listing site, it’s a comprehensive M&A toolkit, for the digital age. Here’s what it offers:
- Secure, end-to-end digital transaction environment

Whether you’re looking to scale, exit, or reposition your business, AcquireHub makes it easier to connect with the right people and the right capital, all within a trusted and government-backed ecosystem.
Why Now?
The timing couldn’t be better. According to the EY MENA M&A Report, 701 deals worth a staggering USD 92.3 billion were recorded across regional markets in 2024. With M&A activity surging, there’s a clear need for a platform that is:
- ✅ Globally aligned
- ✅ Locally rooted
- ✅ User-friendly and secure
AcquireHub bridges this gap by offering curated opportunities directly through the Invest in Sharjah website. Regular updates will ensure investors, entrepreneurs, and strategic buyers stay informed and connected.
A Gateway to the $3.5 Trillion Global M&A Market
Sharjah AcquireHub isn’t just about the local scene, it’s designed to give regional businesses a gateway to the global M&A market, currently valued at $3.5 trillion. That means more access, better deals, and greater visibility for Sharjah-based ventures looking to go global. 🚀🌐
By strengthening M&A infrastructure, Sharjah continues to position itself as a trusted hub for secure, transparent, and strategic business activity in the region.
