The “Investor Day” event which was hosted by Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP) in collaboration with its partner, 500 Startups at the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC), has given opportunities to fifteen new startups to pitch their business ideas to potential regional and local investors.
Qatar Foundation Research Development’s (QF R&D) Research-to-Startup program is a collaborative initiative with QSTP partners Wasabi Ventures and Qatar Computing Research Center (QCRI), which aim to provide a launch-pad platform for startups that would leverage technologies developed by local research and academic institutes within Doha.
Dr. Maher Hakim, QSTPP Executive Director, said: “We have incredible talent in the region and it’s an honor for QTSP, in collaboration with our regional and international partners, to be able to provide aspiring tech entrepreneurs with the essential support to realize their innovations and contribute to the expanding startup ecosystem in Qatar and the MENA region.”
