Forbes Middle East is set to host a special event in Doha recognising Qatar’s top companies in 2017.
For the first time, the event will also acknowledge Qatar’s success over the years and its future plans for diversification.
The event will be held under the patronage of HE the Minister of Economy & Commerce, Sheikh Ahmed bin Jassim bin Mohamed al-Thani, where he will deliver the keynote speech about the current macro-economic situation and future of the country.
Forbes Middle East editor-in-chief Khuloud Omian said, “Today, Qatar is the fourth highest income per capita and was mainly dependent on oil and natural gas reserves. The country is now on its path to diversify its economy and by the visionary leadership; the country’s future roadmap is promising.”
With recent announcements like Qatar National Vision 2030, the country is showing strong signs of resilience amidst economic difficulties, taking necessary steps to diversify. One of its biggest achievements: winning the bid for FIFA 2022, ushering in an era of massive infrastructure development and triggering a boom in tourism.
The celebration will be held in Doha and counts business heads in the public and private sector, diplomats and leaders across various sectors among its expected guests.
Forbes Middle East has support from partners including the Ministry of Economy & Commerce as the main partner; St. Regis Doha (hospitality partner); Danube Properties (support partner); 360 Nautica (industry partner); Gulf Times (English print partner); and Al Raya (media partner).
The event is managed by Tarteeb media.
