Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZ) and Qatar Postal Services Company (Qatar Post) have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to collaborate on providing comprehensive postal services to companies and investors operating within the free zones in Qatar.
This partnership aligns with QFZ’s strategic objective to enhance its service offerings and support businesses by ensuring efficient and reliable postal solutions.
The MoU was signed by Abdulla Hamad al-Binali, director of Investor Relations and Technical Support at QFZ, and Hamad al-Fahida, chief operating officer of Qatar Post, during a ceremony at the Business Innovation Park in Ras Bufontas Free Zone.
The agreement aims to establish a framework for Qatar Post to offer a range of postal services, including mail collection, PO Box services, international shipping, and connected collection (shop and ship) to the companies operating in the free zones. This collaboration is part of QFZ’s continuous efforts to provide an integrated business environment for its investors, ensuring that all operational needs are met efficiently.
Al-Binali said, “We are delighted to announce our partnership with Qatar Post, which marks a significant step towards enhancing the range of services available to businesses in Qatar’s free zones.
“This MoU reflects our commitment to providing a comprehensive support system for our investors, thereby fostering a conducive environment for business growth and operational excellence. Our collaboration with Qatar Post will play a pivotal role in ensuring that our investors have access to top-tier postal services, facilitating their day-to-day operations, and contributing to the overall economic development of Qatar.”
Al-Fahida said, “We are proud to partner with Qatar Free Zones Authority in this initiative. This MoU underscores our dedication to supporting the business and investment community in Qatar by delivering high-quality postal and logistics services. Our co-operation with QFZ will enable us to provide tailored postal solutions that meet the specific needs of businesses operating in the free zones, enhancing their operational efficiency and global connectivity.”
QFZ offers an integrated platform for businesses, supported by several benefits, including an attractive infrastructure for companies to establish and operate their businesses, a skilled workforce, 100% foreign ownership, tax exemptions, among others. The addition of Qatar Post’s services will further bolster Qatar’s free zones appeal as a premier destination for attracting FDI and more global companies, and therefore, contributing to the State’s economic development goals.
