Invest Qatar Annual Report 2025 06 As Qatar continues to advance its transformation journey, 2025 stands as a year of purposeful progress, deepened partnerships and renewed confidence in the nation’s long-term economic vision. Against an evolving global backdrop, Qatar has remained firmly focused on building a diversified, resilient and knowledge-driven economy, one that offers clarity, opportunity and enduring value to investors. Central to this progress was the significant expansion of Invest Qatar’s global footprint. During the year, we established dedicated representatives in London, New York, Paris, Mumbai and Istanbul, providing investors across key markets with direct access to on-the-ground insights, tailored support and real-time engagement with Qatar’s investment ecosystem. These efforts translated into sustained engagement throughout the year. Invest Qatar hosted more than 1,450 investor and stakeholder meetings and organised over 150 fact-finding trips, connecting international companies with opportunities across priority sectors. We also deepened engagement with business councils, rating agencies, embassies and a broad range of global stakeholders, reinforcing Qatar’s visibility and credibility as a long-term investment partner. Digital transformation remained a priority in enhancing the investor journey. In 2025, the Invest Qatar Gateway was comprehensively revamped with a new user interface and enhanced features, including a secure document vault and direct access to banking and telecommunications support services. These improvements reflect our commitment to accelerating setup and enabling investors to operate with greater efficiency and confidence. Partnerships continued to be a key driver of impact. Over the course of the year, Invest Qatar welcomed several new international partners including imec, WHOOP, Level Infinite, Quantinuum, Yuno, Ardian, Silian Partners and Das Intellitech. We also expanded cooperation with leading global investment and economic development bodies such as Invest India, ProColombia, the Hong Kong Trade Development Council, Startup Portugal and the Polish Investment and Trade Agency. Locally, partnerships with the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Aqarat), Doha Bank and QNB further strengthened the business environment and enhanced access to critical services. Our international profile reached new heights in 2025. Invest Qatar hosted the inaugural Qatar Pavilion at the World Economic Forum Annual Meeting, showcasing Qatar’s dynamic business landscape to a global audience. We also convened the FDI Leaders Network Autumn Meeting in Qatar, bringing together CEOs and heads of international Investment Promotion Agencies to exchange insights and best practices. Beyond these flagship moments, we engaged with global stakeholders at major international forums, including London Tech Week, Web Summit Vancouver, EXPO 2025 Osaka, Gamescom, the Asia Leaders Conference and the Belt and Road Summit. Guided by the Third National Development Strategy and Qatar National Vision 2030, Invest Qatar remains focused on attracting investments that support innovation, enable technology transfer, create skilled employment and strengthen priority clusters. As we look ahead, Invest Qatar will continue to build on the momentum of 2025, strengthening our global presence and ensuring Qatar remains a destination where investment is supported, growth is enabled and progress is shared.
