The RAK Research and Innovation Center has a rich history that began with the establishment of a research platform by CSEM in 2007. The Government of Ras Al Khaimah allocated a vast 87,000 square meters of land in the industrial zone to CSEM-UAE, setting the stage for constructing a unique solar R&D facility.
This initial platform led to the development of the Solar-Island prototype, which aimed to evaluate technologies for building cost-effective solar power plants. Over time, the facility has expanded significantly. It now encompasses seven R&D test platforms focusing on various aspects of solar technology, including photovoltaics, solar cooling, solar hybrid mini-grids, green building, solar water desalination, solar islands, and concentrated solar power.
Today, the RAK Research and Innovation Center stands as a beacon of innovation, facilitating collaboration with leading academic, technological, and industrial development centers worldwide while playing a pivotal role in driving the advancement of sustainable energy solutions.
