Doha, May 19 (QNA) - CEO of Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) Yousuf Mohamed Al Jaida emphasized that the Qatar Economic Forum, Powered by Bloomberg, is a prestigious global platform that brings together a distinguished group of decision-makers, business leaders, and investors from around the world.
In its previous editions, the Forum served as a strategic opportunity for QFC to strengthen its presence and highlight the attractive investment environment offered by the State of Qatar, along with its advanced regulatory framework and high-quality facilitation services.
In a statement to Qatar News Agency (QNA), CEO of QFC said that their participation in the Forum has helped build valuable relationships with global financial and investment institutions and has directly contributed to attracting a number of leading companies to the Qatari market, reinforcing Qatar’s position as a regional and international financial hub.
He added that during previous editions of the Forum, QFC signed a number of Memoranda of Understanding (MoUs) with prominent international institutions, including an MoU with Unicorns, the media services company behind the production of the leading business program Unicorn Hunters, which connects entrepreneurs and innovators with investors and funding sources.
The Centre also entered a partnership with the Hashgraph Association to promote the use of Distributed Ledger Technology (DLT) among Qatari startups, in addition to signing an MoU with Mastercard to develop fintech solutions and boost innovation in the financial services sector.
He stressed that these partnerships reflect QFC’s commitment to supporting Qatar’s entrepreneurial ecosystem and to providing real growth opportunities for both local and international companies.
He said that QFC is participating in this year’s edition of the Forum as a strategic partner, as they aim to highlight their role in supporting economic diversification and enhancing the business environment in Qatar.
This year’s forum will provide an opportunity to establish new partnerships that support strategic sectors such as fintech, asset management, and professional services, with one of the most notable being with Ashmore Group, a global asset management firm specializing in emerging markets.
He pointed out that he will be participating in a panel discussion titled Crypto & Digital Assets: Investing in the New Era, which will explore the future of cryptocurrencies and digital assets, from regulatory frameworks to smart investment strategies, in a world defined by rapid innovation and transformation.
Al Jaida concluded his statement to QNA by noting that the Forum offers a unique opportunity for QFC to engage directly with global companies and showcase its competitive advantages, including its independent legal and regulatory framework, 100% foreign ownership, and attractive tax exemptions, adding that through one-on-one meetings and panel discussions, QFC will work to introduce companies to growth opportunities in the Qatari market and provide the support they need to establish their operations within the Centre’s integrated business ecosystem.
