After the World Cup 2022 in Qatar!
Not only Mega-Events, but also outstanding business opportunities in future technologies. We support you with a unique offer to ensure your cultural success in Qatar!
After the successful organization of the 2022 FIFA World Cup in Qatar, the country will surely remain in the collective memory of the world. The image of Emir Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani dressing Lionel Messi in the transparent noble overcoat (Bischt) at the award ceremony remains the trademark of this unforgettable event. However, Qatar is not only a host of the World Cup or a source for spectacular news, but is also the land for enormous business potential.
Qatar is considered to be the wealthiest country in the world in terms of per capita purchasing power. The Qataris have learned a lot from the Qatar crisis from June 2017 to January 2021 and the 3.5-year blockade of neighboring countries. The most important thing is to achieve self-sufficiency in meat, fish and poultry products, as the country is largely dependent on food imports. The government wants to bring future know-how into the country: a decision that opens up many opportunities in various sectors, whether it’s in dairy products, agriculture or the meat industry.
Qatar is strategically important for many countries in Europe. The country is the world’s largest exporter of liquefied natural gas (LNG) and has the third proven largest gas reserves in the world. In addition to a high-consumption population and the most modern infrastructure, the country has the most solid finances in the world. Qatar is a very interesting market, especially for the construction industry, transport, petrochemical, green technology and digitalisation.
Increase your success in Qatar and learn the most important cultural factors of working and communicating in a culturally diverse environment. Develop your intercultural skills to manage challenges in interaction with customers, suppliers, colleagues, employees and business partners.
