This marks a leap in sustainable laboratory practices in healthcare, positioning Sharjah at the forefront of sustainable laboratory practices across the region.

The initiative will pilot the internationally recognised My Green Lab Certification within the University of Sharjah’s research laboratories setting a precedent for academic, clinical, and industrial laboratories in the region. My Green Lab is the only laboratory sustainability certification endorsed by the UN-backed Race to Zero campaign, and is widely seen as the gold standard in advancing net-zero targets within the life sciences and healthcare industries.

SRTI Park is positioning itself as the region's foremost advocate for sustainable innovation.

With a growing portfolio of green technology pilots, climate-focused research hubs, and partnerships with global industry leaders, SRTI Park is actively embedding environmental sustainability into the fabric of R&D activity across the UAE. By championing the My Green Lab initiative, the Park is not only reinforcing its role as a convener of impactful collaborations, but also underscores its commitment to transforming Sharjah into a hub for environmentally responsible scientific advancement in the Middle East.
