Premium Package
“Barq”, “Follow Me” and the “Digital Economic Board” represent initiatives within an outstanding package of the latest quality projects developed by the Chamber for its clients as part of adopting a culture of creativity and innovation as a methodology and corporate culture.
The "Follow Me" initiative impressed visitors at the Chamber's pavilion, which is a robot that accompanies the Chamber’s visitors and leads them to their intended destination in its headquarters by clicking on the control screen, as the robot was programmed to communicate with clients and welcome them.
"Burq" is a service launched by the Chamber under the slogan "Your Happiness is Our Goal", and it’s a device that issues the certificate of origin wherever it is located in Sharjah using "smart" devices placed in a number of selected sites such as air and sea ports, major industrial areas and government departments. With one click the service enables you to obtain a certificate of origin, certified and approved without the need to visit the Chamber’s headquarters.
The "Digital Economic Board" initiative aims to introduce the Chamber's customers and visitors to the daily transactions at the Chamber and a number of other government departments under the slogan "Your Communication is Important to Us." The smart panel provides customers with the most important data, news and economic indicators in the UAE markets that are of interest to them, providing real-time follow-up that will make clients at the heart of the economic and investment business community in Sharjah.
