New Milestone in UAE’s Quantum AI Journey

The Super Hub is being established in SRTI Park’s SoiLAB, a cutting-edge prototyping and innovation facility. The space, set up and computer hardware for the Hub is already in place and formal launch is planned in September. Like the Super Hub at Tecconnect in Alberta, Canada, the Sharjah Super Hub will provide access to SuperQ’s Super™ platform to businesses, government departments and researchers. Super™ combines the best of quantum annealing, gate-based quantum computing and classical supercomputing to solve challenging decision problems, all in natural language. It is the gateway to commercialization-ready quantum and supercomputing and significantly lowers the technical and financial barriers to utilizing these technologies. In addition, the Hub will provide AI enablement through SuperQ’s strategic partner Staque’s Que autonomous intelligence framework, and project support for SPark’s priority areas such as logistics optimization, energy systems, advanced manufacturing, and healthcare. UAE has emerged as a leader in AI. This initiative will place the country at the forefront of quantum computing and quantum AI.

A Bright Spark for Quantum Technologies

Positioned within Sharjah’s University City, SPark is a leading free zone and innovation catalyst that connects industry, government, and academia, with unique adjacency to American University of Sharjah and University of Sharjah - enabling deep collaboration, translational research, and commercialization. The initiative aligns with the innovation agenda of H.E. Sheikha Bodour Al Qasimi, Chairperson of the Board and President of SPark and President of the American University of Sharjah, who oversees SPark’s approximately $150 million push to position Sharjah as a global leader in emerging technology fields. SPark is led by CEO H.E. Hussain Al Mahmoudi, who has championed building a world‑class innovation ecosystem in the Emirate.

Dr. Fareed Al Amiri, Chief Strategy Officer at SPark, who led the initiative to bring commercial‑ready quantum computing to Sharjah, said: “This partnership turns quantum and supercomputing from a distant promise into practical capability for our ecosystem today. By anchoring the quantum Super Hub at SPark, we are connecting our universities, startups, corporates, and government partners to real quantum AI infrastructure, real expertise, and real outcomes - right here in Sharjah. Our goal is to make the UAE a global leader in quantum computing and AI, and to do so with speed and impact.”

Dr. Muhammad Khan, Founder and CEO of SuperQ, said: “We are honored to partner with SPark to bring the Super™  platform, our quantum Super Hub model, and our AI stack to the UAE. With Dr. Fareed’s leadership and H.E. Hussain’s vision, this is the ideal launchpad to scale quantum‑powered optimization and AI across logistics, energy, manufacturing, and healthcare in the Middle East and Asia. Establishing SuperQ Computing Middle East at SPark is a pivotal step in our mission to commercialize quantum globally.”

The partnership agreement outlines ecosystem enablement, co‑branded programming, and tiered hub access for startups, SMEs, corporates, and research groups, including training, masterclasses, hackathons, and project acceleration. Near‑term initiatives include enterprise proof‑of‑concepts on SuperQ’s hybrid quantum‑AI stack, AI/optimization sprints on the Que platform, and education programs spanning foundational to advanced quantum and AI modules for students and professionals. The Hub will enable direct access to world’s foremost quantum computers via Super, while supporting sovereign data, security, and compliance needs within the UAE.
