Msheireb Properties, Qatar’s sustainable real estate developer, has signed a strategic partnership with Inc. Arabia, the Middle East edition of the global business publication Inc., to bring a series of business and innovation initiatives to Msheireb Downtown Doha.

The partnership aims to strengthen the district’s role as a destination for entrepreneurship, leadership and business engagement while creating opportunities for entrepreneurs, investors and industry leaders to connect and exchange knowledge.

Downtown Tech Summit and Best in Business Awards

As part of the agreement, Msheireb Properties will host the second edition of the Downtown Tech Summit on November 17, following the success of its inaugural event in 2025.

The partnership will also introduce the Best in Business Awards to Qatar for the first time. Scheduled for November 18, the awards will recognise outstanding businesses and leaders from across the region and highlight Qatar’s diverse and resilient business community.

The awards have previously been held in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, with the Qatar edition expected to provide a platform for local businesses and entrepreneurs to gain regional recognition.

Supporting Qatar’s Business Community

The initiatives form part of a broader programme of business events at Msheireb Downtown Doha and are intended to encourage collaboration, knowledge sharing and private-sector growth.

The partnership also aligns with Msheireb Properties’ resilience framework, which focuses on strengthening the district’s long-term economic value through strategic partnerships, business engagement and knowledge-sharing activities.

Eng. Ali Mohammed Al Kuwari, Chief Executive Officer of Msheireb Properties, said the partnership reflects the company’s vision of developing a business community that enables entrepreneurs, innovators and business leaders to connect and grow.

Anas Abbar, Co-founder and Group CEO of 7awi Media Group, said the collaboration would provide a platform to highlight Qatar’s entrepreneurs, innovators and business leaders while creating opportunities for dialogue around the country’s economic development.

Business Stories to Highlight Qatar’s Growth

Beyond the events, the partnership will include business-focused content featuring companies, individuals and ideas contributing to Qatar’s economy.

Inc. Arabia is published in the MENA region by 7awi Media Group, which operates digital media platforms across several regional markets.

Msheireb Downtown Doha, a smart and sustainable mixed-use district, has increasingly become a venue for business events, leadership forums and industry gatherings.

Through the new partnership, Msheireb Properties aims to further establish the district as a platform for economic dialogue and collaboration while supporting Qatar’s economic diversification objectives and the ambitions of the Qatar National Vision.
