Qatar’s leading telecommunications operator has announced it is to be Exclusive Telecommunications Sponsor for the upcoming QDB Virtual Investment Forum 2020.

Organised by Qatar Development Bank, the Investment Forum is an annual event that taps into entrepreneurship investment opportunities in Qatar and further afield. The aim of the Forum is to connect entrepreneurs with investors and sources of capital interested in start-ups and scale-ups with a wide variety of promising, fast-growing businesses.

This year’s event will be held on Tuesday 1 December 2020. For the first time due to the ongoing pandemic situation, the 2020 Investment Forum will be a virtual event, making it more accessible than ever to international investors and VCs.

This year’s theme is Business Transformation and Growth, with an agenda featuring insightful panel discussions, investment workshops and an elite group of start-ups and scale-ups pitching their innovations to raise the next round of funding.

Sabah Rabiah Al-Kuwari, Director PR at Ooredoo, said: “We’re delighted to be working with Qatar Development Bank to support this invaluable event. We’re fully committed to Qatar National Vision 2030 and the economic development of our country, and events such as these – which not only draw attention to Qatar and its many opportunities, but also attract valuable support for our innovators – are key to this Vision and development.”
