Doha Bank has announced its sponsorship of the sixth edition of Qatar International Agricultural Exhibition (AgriteQ 2018), as part of its commitment to continuously play an active role in supporting green and social responsibility initiatives locally and globally.
The exhibition was attended by HE the Minister of Transport and Communications Jassim Seif Ahmed al-Sulaiti, Doha Bank acting chief retail banking officer Braik al-Marri, and Doha Bank head of administration and property department Ahmed al-Henzab.
Doha Bank’s sponsorship comes as part of its initiatives to support and promote sustainable development and environmental awareness.

“We are proud to be part of AgritechQ 2018 as a silver sponsor. Environmental sustainability has always been a top priority for Doha Bank and we are at the forefront of promoting green efforts and raising environmental awareness.
“Agriculture is an important sector for Qatar and the country has been making huge investments to promote domestic farming to achieve its goal of becoming largely self-sufficient in food,” said al-Henzab.
He added: “As an organisation that proactively participates in nation-building, we believe it is our responsibility to support initiatives that will promote research and development in the farming sector.
“We look forward to working closely with the government and environmental and agriculture specialists to learn more about the industry to enable us to capitalise on business opportunities and future developments in this sector.”
