uPaint at SEF2025: Pioneering Art and Innovation in the UAE

The Sharjah Entrepreneurship Festival (#SEF2025), the largest entrepreneurship festival in the region, was an incredible experience for uPaint! It was truly inspiring to connect with so many passionate individuals, share uPaint’s journey, and discuss our expansion into the United Arab Emirates as a gateway to the wider GCC market, especially Saudi Arabia.

The enthusiasm for uPaint was overwhelming. Seeing people resonate with our vision and creativity was incredibly rewarding. We had the opportunity to pitch uPaint on stage, showcasing how we are revolutionizing art through technology. Additionally, we took visitors on an exclusive tour of our new workshop at the Sharjah Research, Technology and Innovation Park (SRTI Park), a space where art and innovation come together to redefine the painting experience.

One of the most special moments was welcoming countless visitors to our booth, including the CEO of SRTIP, who experienced uPaint firsthand by bringing one of our unique designs to life. This particular design is close to our hearts, it was created by our talented uPaint designers and beautifully features the UAE flag and iconic landmarks across the country. Seeing it come to life at SEF2025 was a proud moment, symbolizing uPaint’s deep connection with the UAE and our excitement for the future in this market.

Beyond showcasing our innovation, SEF2025 allowed us to connect with industry leaders and entrepreneurs from various sectors, further highlighting uPaint’s vast potential in the UAE and the broader GCC region. uPaint is a completely unique and innovative business, and it is the first paint by numbers kit in the UAE that can be fully customized and produced locally. The festival reinforced our belief that uPaint’s impact extends beyond art, it’s about creativity, community, and accessibility to artistic expression for everyone.

A huge thank you to the Sharjah Entrepreneurship Center (Sheraa) team for organizing such a fantastic event. As we look ahead, we are more excited than ever to continue growing in the UAE and beyond. Stay tuned for what’s next, and let’s keep painting the world with creativity!
