Qatar Financial Centre (QFC), a leading onshore financial and business centre in the region, is set to participate in the 24th edition of the St. Petersburg International Economic Forum (SPIEF), which will be held from June 2 to 5 under the patronage of the President of the Russian Federation.
The QFC joins over 50 leading Qatari public and private sector entities as part of the State of Qatar delegation as a Guest Country.
Earlier this year, the QFC held a live webinar, as part of its #AccessQatar global webinar series, with more than 80 industry channel partners and stakeholders in collaboration with the Qatari-Russian Center for Cooperation to introduce prospects from the sports and the digital sectors to its platform, and a suite of licensing and post-licensing benefits for businesses that are looking to expand their operations to one of the world’s most dynamic economies. Yousuf Mohamed Al Jaida, Chief Executive Officer, QFC, said: “The QFC continues to make robust contributions to Qatar’s economic diversification. We currently have over 1,100 licensed firms from around the world on our platform contributing to the country’s FDI efforts. We aim to continue on this trajectory during our presence in SPIEF this June where we look forward to holding fruitful meetings and discussions with some of Russia’s most prominent business entities.”
