The three-day event, which will be held from October 27 to 29 at DECC, is being organized by the Qatar Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Aqarat) in partnership with Informa Tharawat, and will draw together industry leaders from across the region and beyond.\n\nThe forum will explore a range of topics, including real estate financing, investment returns, portfolio diversification, and the tokenization of real estate assets. It will also examine the impact of economic, technological and geopolitical factors on the sector, as well as sustainability issues.\n\nMohammed bin Hassan Al Malki, President of Aqarat, emphasized the forum's role in enhancing integration and connectivity among stakeholders and opening up new opportunities for strategic partnerships. He noted that real estate transactions in Qatar reached QR10.69bn during the first half of 2026, despite regional complexities.\n\nThe forum comes at a time of rapid developments in the region, but Qatar's real estate sector has shown resilience and strong growth.
