City University Qatar (CUQ) is set to take centre stage at Web Summit 2026 in Doha on February 1-4 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC).
As part of the summit, the university will host the Web Summit Meetup on February 3 at the CUQ, a gathering of alumni, tech leaders, and innovators to explore the future of digital transformation and learning.
A key highlight will be the anticipated signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Cisco, marking the beginning of a strategic partnership aimed at empowering CUQ students and faculty with cutting-edge digital infrastructure, innovative research opportunities, and industry-aligned learning experiences.
In addition, the CUQ will host TEDx on February 4 at the university campus, creating a vibrant platform for dialogue and discovery.
The event will feature a lineup of visionary speakers delivering compelling talks on the intersection of technology, culture, and education.
Through these on-campus sessions, the CUQ aims to ignite bold ideas, foster meaningful connections, and reinforce its mission to inspire change and cultivate globally minded innovators.
“Our participation in Web Summit 2026, alongside hosting TEDx at the CUQ, reflects our commitment to bringing global ideas to the region and sharing local excellence with the world showcasing our vision and values while reinforcing Qatar’s position as a global hub for innovation and intellectual exchange,” said CUQ president Prof Faris Gorashi Faris.
With each initiative, CUQ continues to expand its global presence as a hub of knowledge, creativity, and opportunity.
