A student-led deep-tech startup engineering AI-powered robotics for critical infrastructure, smart environments, and orbital systems.
NOVARQ was founded in 2026 by a team of students aged 12–16 from Sharjah, UAE. We started with a simple belief: young builders can create serious technology when given the right environment and ambition.
We work at the intersection of artificial intelligence, robotics, and physical hardware — building systems that operate in the real world, solve real problems, and are designed to scale beyond our team.
Every decision we make is judged by one question: does this move us closer to a working product? We're applying for the Sheraa SRTIP Advanced Manufacturing license and pursuing a research collaboration with MBZUAI.
From smart consumer devices to autonomous infrastructure inspection to orbital debris management — we're building across three frontiers at once.
An AI-powered smart mirror with a voice assistant, real-time weather and time display, and Spotify integration. Engineered as a consumer product for modern homes — ambient intelligence with zero friction.
Autonomous robot for inspecting pipelines using edge AI and computer vision. Detects cracks, corrosion, and blockages in real time — deployable in hazardous environments where humans cannot operate.
Satellite-mounted system for detecting and eliminating space debris using AI targeting. Creates a debris-free safe zone that extends satellite operational lifespan by up to 3× — addressing one of the defining infrastructure problems of the next century.
We're a small team moving fast. If you're a young builder in the UAE who wants to work on real hardware, real AI, and real products — not theoretical assignments — we want to hear from you. We don't care about grades. We care about what you've actually built.
