Economic sustainability

Hosting the FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022™ solidified Qatar’s position as a global hub for major international events, paving the way for substantial economic growth. This has been particularly advantageous for micro, small and medium enterprises (MSME), fostering their prosperity in Qatar and the broader region.

In early 2022, GWC unveiled the Al Wukair Logistics Park, its most extensive logistics park to date designed for the very needs of the critical MSME sector. The park spans 1,500,000 sqm. GWC played a vital role as an enabler and catalyst for MSME, aiding in their establishment and expansion while capitalising on Qatar’s FIFA World Cup hosting status.

GWC also plays a key role in providing sustainable logistics solutions for Expo 2023 Doha, further contributing to Qatar’s economic development through its commitment to public-private partnerships and reinforcing the logistics sector’s role in national projects.
