Qatar Financial Centre (QFC), one of the world’s leading and fastest growing onshore business and financial centres, is hosting a series of digital events both independently and with partner organisations in an effort to engage existing and prospective clients as well as the wider business community amidst the ongoing Coronavirus (COVID-19) crisis and subsequent social distancing guidelines. 

In line with its newly-launched webcast series entitled ‘#AccessQatar: QFC Webcast Series’, QFC continues to cover the latest trends and developments across a number of industries and topics including Qatar’s economy, Financial Services, FinTech, Foreign Direct Investment, Digital, and Sports. QFC has hosted over 10 webcasts to date with over 640 attendees, in total, having tuned in.

Recent webcasts include ‘Liquidity Landscape for Banks During COVID-19’  held in partnership with Bloomberg; ‘Fintech, a Catalyst for Growth During COVID-19’ which featured speakers from Finch Capital, University of Hong Kong, Qatar University, and former leadership of Level39; and a webcast on Digital Opportunities in Qatar which was joined by the Embassy of Australia in Qatar, Bureau of Foreign Trade of Taiwan’s Ministry of Economic Affairs, KPMG, Ernst & Young, Intellectual Property Office of Singapore, and Japan Bank for International Cooperation.

As in-person events continue to be reformatted virtually in light of the ongoing COVID-19 crisis, QFC is also adapting its traditional model of face-to-face roadshows to a digital format, and is currently underway in organising two major virtual roadshows to highlight the resilience of Qatar’s economy during this crisis, opportunities for international firms looking to expand to Qatar, and the benefits of setting up with the QFC. QFC’s upcoming roadshows include a US roadshow which aims to highlight key business opportunities in Qatar’s digital sector, and a Russia roadshow in partnership with Russia Investment Agency (RIA) which will discuss key business opportunities and areas for growth across a range of sectors in the post COVID-19 era.
