Al-Horr and al-Khalifa are joined by al-Mudahka and other officials after the MoU signing ceremony.
The Qatar Business Incubation Centre (QBIC) and the Qatar Finance and Business Academy (QFBA) signed a memorandum of understanding yesterday for the creation of a modern, knowledge-based economy aligned with the Qatar National Vision 2030.
QBIC chief executive Aysha al-Mudahka said the partnership will allow several QBIC incubatees to participate in selected QFBA courses for free. In addition, customised courses can be catered to the needs of QBIC incubatees for special rates.
“The agreement was part of QBIC’s long-term plan to partner with leading organisations that provide quality services and practical tools to help achieve its mission of developing the next QR100mn companies in Qatar.
“We’re thrilled to be partnering with a leading business and finance academy, and to be able to offer our entrepreneurs a unique opportunity to expand their knowledge in this field. We hope they use what they learn during the customised courses to strengthen and grow their startup companies,” al-Mudahka added.
Qatar Development Bank CEO and QBIC chairman Abdulaziz bin Nasser al-Khalifa said, “QFBA is a valuable, long-term partner and is an establishment that believes in the same core values as we do. QFBA’s carefully selected courses will offer QBIC incubatees a deeper insight on the technicalities of business management and finance.”
QFBA chief executive Dr Abdulaziz al-Horr added, “QFBA is delighted to open its doors to QBIC’s ambitious incubatees and we hope to provide them with sufficient insights that will assist them in developing their startup companies.
“As QBIC and QFBA provide training as part of their services, both believe in personal development as a means to achieve growth in the private and financial sector, securing a more sustainable economy.”
The QFBA, founded by the Qatar Financial Centre Authority, provides a variety of courses in business and finance to raise standards within the financial services industry and help organisations and professionals alike meet their business objectives.
