Sharjah launches Najm, an AI agent to guide investors

Sharjah, a United Arab Emirates emirate, has introduced Najm, an artificial intelligence-driven agent to assist investors in navigating the region's market. The AI tool, revealed by Mohamed Juma Al Musharrkh, CEO of Invest in Sharjah during the ninth Sharjah Investment Forum, aims to streamline the process of finding suitable land deals and establishing businesses.

Najm will gather investor data, such as business type and budget, and use it to identify the most appropriate options from various sources. These include property listings from Bayut, Dubizzle, and Property Finder, as well as information from Sharjah entities, sector and regulatory data, and insights from Invest in Sharjah. The platform will operate in two phases, initially pooling data from four sources before moving on to facilitate direct partnerships with Sharjah entities for investors.

Investors can use Najm to match their requirements and budgets to available sites, allowing for a more direct and personalized investment experience. The platform will connect investors with the relevant listing platforms, streamlining the investment process. The 9th Sharjah Investment Forum, attended by H.E. Ahmed Obaid Al Qaseer, CEO of the Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq), emphasized the importance of long-term investment commitments and highlighted Sharjah's historic sites as hubs for hospitality, culture, and trade.
