The business forum offers a good opportunity for both sides to review a host of investment and business opportunities available in both countries through two sessions titled; “Investment Climate and Joint Cooperation Opportunities” and “Cooperation Opportunities in Industrial Sector and Renewable Energy Sources”.
The forum will discuss means of increasing joint investments and trade between both countries, as well as encouraging businessmen to establish projects that serve both economies.
Qatar Chamber has announced that all preparations and logistics of the exhibition are completed.
The four-day expo will feature Qatar’s industry through 5 sectors including food and beverages, furniture, petrochemicals, SMEs and various industries.
The exhibition represents a platform that brings together Qatari companies and factories in front of the Kuwaiti community.
The upcoming edition of the expo is the eighth edition since its inception in 2009, while it is the third to be held outside the country and the second to be held during the siege.
In general, the ‘Made in Qatar’ exhibition aims to promote the industry and Qatari products locally and globally, encourage the use of Qatari products and reduce dependence on imports, encourage investors and entrepreneurs to invest in industrial projects, and support the state’s approach to public-private partnerships, besides opening up new foreign markets to Qatari companies and pushing the industry, especially SMEs.
