The Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC) and the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC) signed a partnership deal to continue to promote Qatar as a hub for business events and further contribute to strengthening Qatar National Vision 2030.
The partnership is an important milestone for the State of Qatar, as the two entities represent the largest companies that manage and operate exhibition and convention centres in the country.
Exhibitions beyond 2022
The two venues are looking beyond 2022 to build on events, conferences, live shows, and exhibitions to develop the industry within Qatar. The two companies will strategically focus on not only local but international audiences. In line with this offering, they will also focus on common knowledge and training of staff to create best industry practices and implement future governed safety regulations within the exhibition industry in Qatar.
The venues alongside Qatar Tourism will visit a number of roadshows and industry exhibitions to promote Doha internationally amongst key decision-makers.
According to AMLAK Holding CEO Mohammed Al Naimi, QNCC is one of Qatar Foundation’s iconic facilities designed to represent the culture and innovations of Qatar. AMLAK Holding is the management company of QNCC.
Since my new role at Amlak, we have adopted a new strategy for QNCC to develop partnerships with national and international sectors. Our main focus is to create new initiatives and events to help drive the vision of 2030.
He added that they are excited to work alongside DECC to support this strategy in making incremental improvements that can help the industry develop over the next decade as they aim to drive more exhibitions and live shows to Qatar.
Qatar Business Events Corporation CEO Ahmed Alobaidli also expressed their commitment towards interacting and forming global partnerships to have exhibitions and events that help connect cultures, people and commerce. He said that the focus of QNV 2030 is for Qatar to become an advanced society capable of sustainable development, to provide high living standards for Qatari citizens.
QNV 2030 has led to investments in infrastructure, cultural, medical and hospitality sectors, making Qatar’s proposition even stronger for international event organisers.
Alobaidli added that the business events industry is a key priority in the national strategy. He said that this partnership with QNCC is a great milestone that will help in developing the events industry in Qatar.
