H.E. Marwan bin Jassim Al Sarkal

Executive Chairman Sharjah Investment and Development Authority (Shurooq). He designed and established an interactive, smart library.

Marwan bin Jassim AL Sarkal was inspired by key figures in the UAE such as the late Sheikh Zayed whose leadership made him strive to achieve his vision of setting up the Phygital Library. His background as the son of an ambassador and his education in both Dubai and the USA have had a great impact on how he sees the world. He believes people can achieve their vision through determination and close observation of the world around them. Dubai, he finds, is an ideal place to realize those dreams as the country has a supportive and dedicated leadership.
