SPARQ, the world’s first personalized AI gaming platform, has officially relocated to Innovation City in Ras Al Khaimah. The move marks a major step for the Emirate as it positions itself as a global center for next generation game creation, artificial intelligence, and digital creativity. Innovation City is the world’s first AI powered free zone built for founders, creators, and frontier technology companies.

Redefining Game Creation Through AI

SPARQ was built by industry veterans with decades of experience in games, engines, and online worlds. The company set out to remove friction from game development and return joy to creation.

Its AI native platform allows creators to:

  • Build and launch games up to 10 to 100 times faster
  • Replace complex code with AI driven generation tools
  • Use intuitive workflows instead of rigid pipelines
  • Turn ideas into playable worlds with speed and ease

The platform opens game creation to a wider audience. Designers, storytellers, filmmakers, and digital artists can now build interactive experiences without deep technical skills.

Why Innovation City and Ras Al Khaimah

SPARQ’s founders evaluated several global markets before choosing Ras Al Khaimah. They sought speed, clarity, and alignment with innovation goals. Innovation City delivered all three.

Key factors behind the decision include:
