A huge crowd of people attended the Made in Qatar 2023 events on third day of events. The ninth edition of the expo is being held at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre under the patronage of Amir H H Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani. It runs through Saturday, December 2.
With the support of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, the Qatar Chamber organised the show, which has over 450 industries and industrial enterprises participating. Two lectures were organised on the fringes of the MIQ second day of activation.
QatarEnergy conducted the first seminar, which covered the Tawteen programme and the In-Country Value (ICV).
In his own words, Ahmed Saeed Al Kuwari, the Tawteen Department's Service Sector Development and Maintenance Officer at QatarEnergy, gave a summary of the national initiative Tawteen, which aims to develop local investment opportunities in the country's energy sector, covering fields like digital technology, drilling, and maintenance.
Al Kuwari emphasised that the programme provides facilities and incentives for cutting-edge businesses, including five-year contracts, flexible procedures, and shorter contract award timeframes. It also makes supplier growth and advisory services easier. He examined a number of bids created under the 2019 settlement programme at the conference.
The In-Country Value (ICV) Manager, Hamad Mohsin Ahmed Al Ejji, then gave a presentation on the programme and its offerings, which included the electronic application process for local value certification. He mentioned that 6,800 tenders in the energy industry were given under the programme, which led to the creation of about 4,400 employment.
Presentations were given by Samer Abu Zaghla, the QSE's education manager, and Hamad Khalil, the product development manager, at the second seminar, which was sponsored by the Qatar Stock Exchange (QSE). Definition of Covered Short Selling Activities, Stock Lending and Borrowing and Market Making is the working paper they presented.
In the course of the seminar, Hamad Khalil stressed that the QSE is not just a trading venue but also a source of financial knowledge enrichment that helps capital owners grow their businesses, which benefits the country's economy as a whole.
The Wyndham Home digital platform was launched on the fringes of the show, with Dr. Bilal Turkiya, the Chargé d'affaires of the Syrian Embassy in Qatar, and board members of the Qatar Chamber of Commerce Nasser bin Suleiman Al Haidar and Dr. Mohammed bin Jawhar Al Mohammed in attendance.
