Qatar Chamber has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with Hawkama Centre yesterday to prepare and issue its commercial and industrial directory for 2018-2019.
The MoU was signed by Qatar Chamber director-general’s assistant for Governmental and International Relations Ali bu Sherbak al-Mansouri and Hawkama Centre chairman Mansour Ahmed al-Saadi. Qatar Chamber’s directory includes a list of commercial and industrial companies operating in the country and registered with the Chamber, including phone and fax numbers, address, and all contact data.
Al-Mansouri enjoined all companies operating in Qatar to register in the directory, which aims at facilitating the country’s business environment and providing correct and accurate data about private sector companies.
He noted that issuing the directory comes in the frame of the Chamber’s plans to develop and update services it provides to the Qatari private sector and its members, assuring that the number of companies registered during the siege significantly increased. 
Al-Saadi said Hawkama Centre “is honoured” to co-operate with Qatar Chamber in issuing its commercial and industrial directory, which is an updated and inclusive data base for the private sector.
He said the directory will be issued on December 2018, adding that it will be available in hard copy and in PDF format online. It will also be available in mobile applications for easy access.
Al-Saadi said the centre will harness its potential and experience in collecting, indexing, designing, and printing “to produce a distinct directory.”
Hawkama Centre is a well-known, Doha-based organisation involved in publication, organising conferences and PR services. The centre has established longstanding relations associated with publishing services with several influential parties in Qatar.
