Media City Qatar is participating at Web Summit 2024, which is being held in Lisbon, Portugal from November 11 to 14.
The strategic presence of Qatar’s delegation underscores the country’s ambitions to attract global tech leaders and foster a business-friendly environment in Doha, supporting the city’s emergence as a leading destination for digital media and technology innovation companies, in alignment with Qatar National Vision 2030.
During the event, Media City Qatar will join other participating organisations from Qatar to highlight the country’s growing digital ecosystem and state-of-the-art facilities, actively engaging in networking opportunities with industry professionals, investors, and innovators. With a focus on AI, digital media, and cutting-edge technologies, Media City Qatar aims to attract global talent and foster strategic partnerships.
Recently, Qatar has been expanding its appeal as a prime destination for businesses seeking to establish or extend their presence in the Middle East. As a global hub, Qatar now ranks third in the MENA and fifth globally in the National Entrepreneurship Context Index (2024 Global Entrepreneurship Monitor), with $1bn invested in its first venture capital fund for SMEs and startups.
Consistently ranked highly across various global indices, Qatar is celebrated for its cultural vibrancy, world-class safety, and high quality of life, offering a unique blend of tradition and modernity.
Reflecting on these developments, Engineer Jassim Mohamed al-Khori, CEO of Media City Qatar, said: “By participating in Web Summit 2024 in Lisbon alongside the delegation from Qatar, we achieved two key goals for Media City Qatar: we showcased Qatar’s strengths to global tech and digital innovators and we invited the world’s top experts to see Doha as a leading hub for creativity and collaboration.
“Each international engagement reinforces our commitment to positioning Qatar at the forefront of digital innovation, attracting entrepreneurs and companies, and building partnerships that drive our vision for a future-ready media landscape in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.”
Web Summit Lisbon is renowned as one of the world's largest technology conferences, attracting leaders and innovators from various sectors to discuss and shape the future of technology and media.
