InvestQatar presents Startup Qatar as an on-ramp for founders who want to set up, hire, and pilot products in Qatar, with a “single umbrella” approach that connects capital, licensing, and relocation. The emphasis is removing friction in the first months: clearer pathways for entrepreneur onboarding, local stakeholder access, and a place to validate early customer deployments. https://startupqatar.qa/

HDMI® Technology is the foundation for the worldwide ecosystem of HDMI-connected devices; integrated with displays, set-top boxes, laptops, audio video receivers and other product types. Because of this global usage, manufacturers, resellers, integrators and consumers must be assured that their HDMI® products work seamlessly together and deliver the best possible performance by sourcing products from licensed HDMI Adopters or authorized resellers. For HDMI Cables, consumers can look for the official HDMI® Cable Certification Labels on packaging. Innovation continues with the latest HDMI 2.2 Specification that supports higher 96Gbps bandwidth and next-gen HDMI Fixed Rate Link technology to provide optimal audio and video for a wide range of device applications. Higher resolutions and refresh rates are supported, including up to 12K@120 and 16K@60. Additionally, more high-quality options are supported, including uncompressed full chroma formats such as 8K@60/4:4:4 and 4K@240/4:4:4 at 10-bit and 12-bit color.

A core theme is compute and connectivity capacity: Qatar is positioning itself around hyperscale cloud availability and modern data-center infrastructure, so startups can run AI, fintech, and other regulated workloads while meeting data-residency and latency requirements. The interview points to the Microsoft Azure cloud region in Qatar and the Google Cloud Doha region as foundational layers, and links that to grid planning and large solar buildouts tied to a 2030 renewable-energy goal of roughly 25% for national power.
On the operational side, immigration is treated like a product surface. Hayya, described as a Ministry of Interior digital platform, is positioned as a one-stop flow for entry support, visa processes, and practical newcomer guidance. Qatar Development Bank is framed as the funding and mentorship rail for entrepreneurs, and these pieces are shown in a booth walkthrough that was filmed at Web Summit Lisbon 2025 there.
Instead of “finding” unicorns, the framing is “growing” them by using Qatar as a controlled test market: come in, pilot with local partners, iterate, then expand outward from a Gulf base. The booth gives concrete examples across verticals: a buy-now-pay-later fintech endorsed by the Qatar Central Bank, a games studio that joined the first Startup Qatar cohort and has operated in-country for about a year, and a locally formed healthtech startup aiming to scale.
The broader backdrop is post–World Cup infrastructure reuse: metro, expanded airport capacity, more housing stock, and an airline network that makes regional access practical from Doha. Qatar Science and Technology Park is positioned as an incubation and accelerator hub with multinational adjacency, while Web Summit Qatar is framed as a fast-growing founder and investor node reinforcing the ecosystem hub.
