Msheireb Properties and The Business Year have announced the return of the Qatar Investment and Innovation Conference, scheduled to take place on 3 November at Barahat Msheireb, under the theme “Driving GCC Entrepreneurial Growth.”
Following the success of the inaugural edition held in January this year, the second edition will focus on advancing the Gulf region’s startup landscape and expanding regional collaboration. The event will bring together senior government representatives, investors, and business leaders from Qatar, and the GCC region, with an emphasis on youth participation and emerging enterprises shaping the next phase of growth.
This year’s conference will adopt an entrepreneurs-driven format aimed at energising the region’s emerging community. It will showcase how the GCC’s burgeoning startup ecosystem can serve as a viable alternative to established global markets while capitalising on the unique advantages of each member country. It will also feature a live startup pitch competition, featuring emerging companies from across the GCC, alongside main panel discussions with industry leaders and policymakers.
The first panel titled “Fostering Entrepreneurship and Driving Economic Growth in the GCC” will focus on how public and private sector initiatives can strengthen entrepreneurial activity across the GCC, with particular attention to public policies, and incentives that support emerging businesses. This is then followed by the second panel “Financing the Future: GCC Investment Strategies and Policy Insights,” which will discuss funding mechanisms across the region, including venture capital, regulatory frameworks, and government-backed initiatives that seek to expand access to finance and improve market conditions.
Further details about the speaker lineup, registration, and programme schedule will be shared in the coming months. Source and cover image credit: Press release
