DOHA: The two-day “Business and Investment in Qatar Forum” is set to open in Berlin, Germany on Monday.
Organised by Qatar’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs, the forum aims at promoting the role of Qatar in business and investment domains and highlighting the opportunities it offers. Qatar is emerging as political, economic and cultural centre of the Middle East and intends to pursue its ambitions to be a knowledge based economy through a well-planned strategy as laid out in the Qatar National Vision 2030.
Al khaliji is the gold sponsor of the forum. Sheikh Hamad bin Faisal bin Thani Al Thani, Al khaliji’s Chairman and Managing Director said: “ Our commitment to support this forum stems from our appreciation for Qatar, which is setting an example of economic excellence regionally and internationally. Qatar’s strategic vision aims to develop a competitive and open economy by relying on the surplus from oil, gas and foreign investment. This will provide unique opportunities for the private sector and will encourage progress for the coming generations.”
Many government officials, high net investors, and representatives from the public and private sector will attend the forum. The forum will discuss through interactive panels, the latest business and investment opportunities and tendencies in the Qatari economy. Al khaliji Group Chief Executive Officer, Robin McCall said,
“The forum is a perfect platform for European companies and investors to take a closer look at the different aspects of the Qatar economy and the growing opportunities available in the coming years. Qatar is a stable country that is growing rapidly and has a conducive investment environment that copes with investors’ ambition”.
Qatar’s ongoing projects are valued at more than $250bn, with infrastructure attracting 34 percent of total investments. Out of the $250bn, an astonishing $100bn is going to be allocated on development projects relating to the FIFA World Cup in 2022. There are unrivalled opportunities for investment and involvement in Qatar in many of its sectors.
