Invest Qatar, the Investment Promotion Agency of Qatar, and Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZ) have successfully concluded Asian business roadshow with strategic engagements in Japan.
The roadshow was conducted to enhance bilateral economic ties and foster investment opportunities between Qatar and key Asian markets. The delegation was led by Sheikh Ali Alwaleed Al-Thani, CEO of Invest Qatar, and Sheikh Mohammed Bin Hamad Bin Faisal Al-Thani, CEO of QFZ.
During the Asian business roadshow, the delegation engaged in discussions with the Japan Business Federation (Keidanren), the Japan Cooperation Center for the Middle East (JCCME) and the Japan External Trade Organization (JETRO).
In the meeting with Keidanren, Japan’s leading economic organization representing over 1,400 major companies, they explored collaboration across various crucial sectors such as manufacturing, logistics and technology, along with potential joint promotions and business delegation exchanges.
The delegation’s talks with JCCME, a non-profit foundation dedicated to promoting direct Japanese investment in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region, centered on deepening cooperation to attract Japanese businesses to Qatar’s dynamic market.
They also highlighted Qatar’s competitive advantages, such as tailored support, cutting-edge facilities, and an investor-friendly ecosystem, which enable Japanese companies to seamlessly enter and expand across the region.
Building on the MoU signed in July 2023 between Invest Qatar and JETRO, the meeting strengthened a shared commitment to bolstering bilateral ties. The discussions focused on investment missions, further supporting Japanese small and medium enterprises (SMEs), and advancing joint efforts to promote opportunities and foster stronger business cooperation.
The roadshow included participation in Manufacturing World Tokyo 2025, a flagship industrial exhibition in Japan. The event served as a platform to connect with Japanese manufactures and explore latest innovations in industrial technology.
Asian business roadshow highlights Invest Qatar’s commitment to cementing Qatar’s position as a global hub for investment and innovation by fostering strategic partnerships and enabling cross-border business growth.
