Preparations are underway for the signing of a memorandum of understanding (MoU) between the Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE) and the Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP) to support the country’s startup sector.
“We are exploring ways on how QSE and QSTP can work together in different sectors and how we can collaborate to support the country’s startups, especially in the technology sector,” QSE chief executive Rashid Ali al-Mansoori told Gulf Times on the sidelines of Doha Bank’s knowledge sharing session titled Qatar – Land of Opportunities held recently.
Al-Mansoori said: “Last week, we visited QSTP to embark on a very important product for our country and for the stock exchange. Not only do we need to secure the country’s supply of food and medicine, but also Qatar’s technology sector. Discussions are still in the early stages.”
He said the MoU is part of several products the QSE is working on in relation to the directives provided in the recent speech delivered by His Highness the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani.
