In line with its vision to be a platform for community engagement and education, Msheireb Museums has launched a programme in collaboration with the Youth Entrepreneur Club to create a space to discuss crucial topics related to entrepreneurship to further nurture the rapidly expanding community of young business leaders in Qatar.
The first event at Msheireb Museum examined how startups can leverage cutting-edge tools and digital transformation to gain a competitive edge, a statement said. Young local entrepreneurs, Reema al-Kuwari and Jassim al-Ejji, shared lessons learned through success and failure along their personal journeys. “We are committed to highlighting stories of perseverance and success that empower our local community,” stated Msheireb Museums’ acting general manager, Abdulla al-Naama, “Innovation and vision have always been key drivers for Qatar’s continued growth. Through insightful dialogue and sharing inspiring personal stories, we hope to cultivate an environment where our youth can thrive as business leaders and pioneers, following in the footsteps of their forefathers before them.”
The Youth Entrepreneur Club is a non-profit organisation operating under the auspices of the Ministry of Sports and Youth and the Qatar Chamber. The club is designed to support and empower Qatari youth involvement in the local economy, providing them with the necessary resources, guidance, and opportunities to develop their commercial ventures and enhance their leadership and creative skills.
Ibrahim al-Sulaiti, president of the Youth Entrepreneur Club, expressed his appreciation for the platform provided by Msheireb Museums: “At the Youth Entrepreneur Club, we aspire to a future where every young man and woman has an active role in building Qatar’s vibrant economy. We focus on empowering youth by providing them with tools, knowledge, and opportunities to become tomorrow’s leaders and entrepreneurs who bear the responsibility of shaping our nation’s future.”
Amid the historical surroundings of Msheireb Downtown Doha, participants were reminded of the region’s longstanding legacy as a hub for trade and business innovation. By nurturing the entrepreneurial spirit among the young people of Qatar, Msheireb Museums reinforces its role as a contemporary space for ideas that shape the future.
As the nation drives toward economic diversification, such collaborations strengthen the innovation-minded ecosystem in Qatar, the statement added.
