The Ministry of Transport and Communication (MoTC) is calling for applications to exhibit at the Startup Hub zone for the fifth edition of Qatar IT Conference and Exhibition (QITCOM 2019), to be held on October 29. The expo will provide entrepreneurs with an opportunity to showcase their businesses and attract partners and investors.
As part of the QITCOM Entrepreneurship Zone, Startup Hub is an inspiring opportunity for mature and successful entrepreneurs to present their creative ideas at Qatar’s largest digital event, Qatar IT Conference and Exhibition (QITCOM 2019).
This year’s vision is to have a selection of 100 local and international startups, who will receive exclusive access to potential investors and large enterprises in Qatar.
Participants will comprise a perfect mix of innovators, startups, future unicorns and entrepreneurs, who will have free access to showcase their innovations at QITCOM 2019. Shortlisted participants will be eligible for speaking opportunities and awards.
Applications for startups will remain open until October 15, 2019. Selected startups will be able to showcase their products and solutions in the Startup Hub booths, building visibility and reach to local and regional market participants.
The Startup Hub programme fosters entrepreneurs, investors and innovators to reach their full potential by exchanging knowledge, expanding their business ideas and networking with other entrepreneurs and investors.
With this year’s theme ‘Safe Smart Cities’, QITCOM 2019 seeks to attract over 300 entrepreneurs to take part in the activities at the Entrepreneurship Zone that includes Startup Hub, CodeCamp, IdeaCamp, Make the Deal and Innovation Theatre.
The Entrepreneurship Zone is a platform designed to bring together diverse digital sectors to exchange ideas and knowledge. It is an exclusive opportunity for startups, entrepreneurs and innovators to connect with relevant investors, businesses and enterprises to develop digital solutions for the advancement of Qatar’s digital economy.
Reem al Mansoori, assistant undersecretary of Digital Society Development Sector at MoTC, said: “After four successful editions, the fifth edition of QITCOM is even more exciting as we expect to bring together diverse entrepreneurs across various technology sectors. CEO’s, CIO’s, decision makers, technology specialists, researchers, innovators and visionaries will come together to collaborate on developing digital solutions for Qatar’s smart future. All of this is possible with the help of the Entrepreneurship Zone that is dedicated to facilitating entrepreneurs in exhibiting their ideas at the Startup Hub.
“We are honoured to create more opportunities for innovative startups and witness some of the most technologically advanced showcases. In the past, QITCOM 2017 has incubated 25 startups through the Digital Incubation Centre (DIC) and this year we hope to incubate even more startups at the Entrepreneurship Zone.”
