NAMA Center takes part in AgriteQ

DOHA: The Social Development Center- NAMA, an affiliated Center of Qatar Foundation for Social Work, took part in the Sixth Qatar International Agricultural Exhibition (AgriteQ) 2018 organised by the Ministry of Municipality and Environment. 

The products of incubated projects, namely those in the categories food production, perfume and incense, were on display at the exhibition.

The purpose of NAMA Center’s participation was to enhance the skills and capabilities of the entrepreneurs working on the incubated projects or benefiting from the center’s entrepreneurial services, and to provide their products with the marketing and promotion support they require. 

As a result, the projects will maintain continuity and keep up with the quick paced developments in the business environment, especially that the exhibition was also attended by specialized local and international companies with areas of expertise ranging from agriculture and irrigation to livestock, fisheries and food security.

 Commenting on the participation in the exhibition, Maryam Bint Abdullatif Al-Mannai, Acting Executive Director of NAMA Center said: “It is our sixth consecutive participation in the AgrtiteQ, and we have nominated several incubated projects involved in the production of food products, perfumes and incense. Ever since our Center was formed in 1997, it has sought to enhance cooperation with the relevant agencies and authorities in the country.”

She added: “Given the strengths of the Qatari economy, namely the qualified labor force, these projects lead to economic growth and development, which in turn leads to a higher percentage of new employment opportunities.” 

Al Mannai extended thanks to the Ministry of Municipality and Environment as well as to private and public institutions for their initiatives and valuable contributions towards helping the Center achieve its mission and strategic objectives, namely empowering youth with emerging projects in the local economy.
