Forbes Middle East is set to host a special event recognising Qatar’s top companies in 2017. For the first time, the event will also acknowledge Qatar’s success over the years and its future plans for diversification.
Forbes Middle East Editor-In-Chief Khuloud Omian said, “Today, Qatar is the fourth highest income per capita and was mainly dependent on oil and natural gas reserves. The country is now on its path to diversify its economy and by the visionary leadership, the country’s future roadmap is promising.”
With recent announcements like Qatar National Vision 2030, the country is showing strong signs of resilience amidst economic difficulties, taking necessary steps to diversify. One of its biggest achievements: winning the bid for FIFA 2022, ushering in an era of massive infrastructure development and triggering a boom in tourism.
The celebration will be held in Doha and counts business heads in the public and private sector, diplomats and leaders across various sectors among its expected guests.
Forbes Middle East has support from valued partners including: Ministry of Economy & Commerce as the main partner; St. Regis Doha as hospitality partner; Danube Properties, one of the UAE’s leading property development companies is a support partner and 360 Nautica, a venture and growth capital platform helping entrepreneurs grow from idea to a sustainable business, as industry partner.
