New York - Prime Minister and Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani has announced the launch of Doha Investment, a specialized investment platform designed to spur Qatar's next economic growth stage. The initiative was introduced at the Qatar Economic Forum's UNGA Special Edition in New York.
Doha Investment aims to foster national champions in non-hydrocarbon sectors, boost private sector involvement, and attract international capital and expertise. In a New York speech, the Prime Minister highlighted the platform's role in expanding private sector contributions to Qatar's economic expansion, supporting leading companies, aiding emerging businesses, deepening capital markets, and integrating global capital and expertise.
Upon launch, Doha Investment's portfolio includes over 40 companies operating in 80 markets, spanning financial services, transport, telecom, tech, real estate, hospitality, food, and agriculture. Notably, more than 20 of these firms generated more than QAR 1 billion in revenue in 2025.
The platform intends to create additional champions in priority areas like advanced technologies, manufacturing, supply chains, and healthcare. Notably, Qai, an AI platform aiming to promote trusted AI use in both enterprises and society, is among these new champions.
Sheikh Faisal bin Thani Al Thani, Minister of Commerce and Industry and Doha Investment's Managing Director and Vice Chairman, emphasized that strong economies thrive by building companies. Doha Investment will actively assist its portfolio companies, partnering with them to unlock value, support growth, and enhance competitiveness in the region and globally.
Additionally, the platform seeks to collaborate with local and international investors to build new Qatari champions, merging capital, expertise, and technology in sectors where Qatar can lead. By stimulating high-skilled jobs, fostering resilient supply chains, and nurturing national talent, Doha Investment aims to deepen capital markets and solidify Qatar's standing as an international investment destination.
