Doha: Invest Qatar, the country’s Investment Promotion Agency, in partnership with MEDEF International, the international arm of the Mouvement des Entreprises de France (MEDEF), successfully hosted a high-level investment seminar in Paris, aimed at strengthening bilateral economic relations and fostering new trade and investment partnerships.
Held as part of a business roadshow led by Invest Qatar, the seminar brought together senior executives and decision-makers from leading French companies, industry associations and financial institutions, providing a platform to explore Qatar’s dynamic investment landscape and highlight opportunities for French businesses seeking regional expansion.
The programme included discussions on Qatar’s economic diversification agenda and investor-friendly regulatory environment.

Commenting on the roadshow, Fahad Ali Al-Kuwari, Chief Investment Development Officer, Invest Qatar, said: “France represents a strategically important source of high-value investment for Qatar, particularly in sectors aligned with our national diversification agenda.
Our focus is on enabling French investors to deploy capital efficiently and capture long-term value within Qatar’s growth trajectory. Beyond market access, we offer investors a coordinated ecosystem spanning licensing, incentives, infrastructure and aftercare, designed to accelerate deployment timelines and support scalable, long-term operations.”
Philippe Gautier, Chief Executive Officer of MEDEF International said: “French companies have built a strong and longstanding presence in Qatar across a wide range of sectors. As Qatar continues to advance its economic diversification ambitions, French businesses stand ready to contribute their expertise, innovation and long-term commitment to support the country’s development priorities and create mutually beneficial partnerships.”
