Vodafone Qatar supported three local startups in presenting their innovative ideas to a global audience at the Arch Summit 2018 in Luxembourg.
The startups are all housed in Qatar Science & Technology Park’s Incubation Center, which is a technology-focused incubation programme aimed at fostering local tech entrepreneurship in Qatar.
The Arch Summit brings together the corporate and startup worlds, giving both parties an opportunity to network and partner to drive innovation.
The stage is built for innovation and entrepreneurial spirit where startups have the chance to be inspired by industry leading speakers, compete to fund their business, network directly with corporate key decision makers and drive the change.
This year’s event saw the participation of more than 170 startups from all over the world and thousands of executives and investors.
Qatari technology startup SUBOL also showcased its business across the two-day Arch Summit at its Vodafone-created booth.
SUBOL is dedicated to employing innovation and engineering methodologies to develop products that fulfil needs of the local and global markets, according to a press statement.
SUBOL’s flagship product is Samam, the “world’s first smart domestic LPG leakage detection and shutoff system”.
Mohamed al-Yami, External Affairs director at Vodafone Qatar, said: “At Vodafone Qatar, we understand that innovation is key to the success of much of Qatar’s ambitious vision for the future and so we are committed to supporting innovative Qatari startups. As a digital first operation, innovation runs through our DNA.
“From the Internet of Things, world-leading mobile infrastructure, fixed line investments, through to leading applications and services that put customers in control of their spending – it’s taking shape in every corner of our operation each and every day.”
