The recently concluded ‘Project Qatar 2019’ provided an excellent platform and opportunity to establish and enhance cooperation between local and international companies and entities, said a senior official of Qatar Financial Centre (QFC).

The QFC, which is one of the world’s leading and fastest growing onshore business and financial centres, participated in the 16th edition of Project Qatar, the country’s biggest international construction exhibition and trade show, with 34 countries represented.

Representatives from the public and private sectors around the world took part in the conference, including Ambassadors from Italy, Turkey, Germany and other countries. Sheikha Alanoud bint Hamad Al Thani, Managing Director of Business Development, QFC, delivered a presentation titled ‘Facilitating Procedures for Foreign Investors within the Qatari Market’ to an audience of leading local and international business leaders during the Project Qatar Conference 2019, which runs concurrent to the exhibition.

Sheikha Alanoud said: “The QFC is always working closely to engage with local and international stakeholders and Project Qatar 2019 provided an excellent platform to do so. Qatar’s economy and various industries are experiencing unprecedented growth and conferences such as these offer businesses a chance to learn more about the many opportunities that await in the Qatari market.”

Sheikha Alanoud added: “The QFC is currently home to over 668 national and international firms that operate across a wide variety of sectors. I am confident that a growing number of firms will continue to be drawn to the QFC proposition, given that it offers a truly unique platform to not only do business in Qatar and beyond.”
