Dear Colleagues,
It is with pleasure that I share with you a glimpse of our performance during this inaugural month of 2024.
In January, we witnessed the registration of 32 companies, a testament to the continued growth and vitality of our business ecosystem. This achievement not only reinforces our position as a preferred destination for companies seeking to thrive in the region’s dynamic market but also underscores our efforts to foster economic prosperity for Qatar.
Furthermore, we signed significant Memorandums of Understanding (MoUs), showing our dedication to driving impactful collaborations. Our agreements with EMRGO Solutions Limited, Meeza QSTP LLC, and Media City underscore our commitment to supporting capital market infrastructure development, fostering growth within the tech ecosystem, and facilitating the establishment of media companies in Qatar.
In addition to these accomplishments, we had the privilege of hosting two notable events that served as platforms for knowledge exchange and meaningful dialogue. The ‘Data Protection in the Age of AI Seminar’ provided valuable insights into best practices in data privacy and protection, while the second edition of our Qatar Financial Market Forum, organised with Bloomberg Intelligence, facilitated discussions on the evolving trends in emerging markets and in the sustainable infrastructure and mobility sectors. I am pleased to report that the forum attracted more participants this year, underscoring the value of this platform to our local business community.
As we face the new year, let us embrace the opportunities that lie ahead with optimism and determination. Together, we stand poised to achieve even greater heights of success and prosperity.
Sincerely,
Chief Executive Officer, Qatar Financial Centre
