DOHA: For the first time ever in the GCC and the Arab World, Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA), in association with Adnar Group, will be hosting the International Final for the 2016-2017 edition of the ‘Global Management Challenge’ (GMC), in Doha.
GMC is the largest simulation-based strategy and management competition in the world. The Final will be played over two days in April, with the winning teams of each of the participating countries competing against one another.
The opening event will take place on April 10, 2017, under the patronage of Qatar’s Minister of Finance H E Ali Sharif Al Emadi, and the awards ceremony and gala dinner will be held under the auspices of Sheikh Fahad Faisal Al Thani, Deputy Governor of Qatar Central Bank.
“It is QFBA’s absolute honor to bring the International Final of the world-renowned ‘Global Management Challenge’, in partnership with Adnar Group, to Qatar and the Arab World for the first time ever in the competition’s 36-year history,” said Dr Abdul Aziz Al Horr, CEO, QFBA.
“Not only will we witness the skillfulness and talents of some of tomorrow’s brightest business minds during the competing teams participation in the Finals, including the National Winner that will be representing Qatar, but we are also helping raise the status of Qatar as a strong regional supporter of skill-development and human capacity building initiatives and events,” he added.
