Qatar Chamber (QC) has highlighted Qatar’s growing position as a global investment and innovation hub during its participation in the 29th Arab-German Business Forum.
The high-profile forum brought together senior government officials, business leaders, investors, and representatives of leading economic institutions from the Arab world and Germany to explore opportunities for strengthening economic cooperation amid rapid global transformation.
Held under the theme ‘Beyond Transformation: Intelligence, Innovation and Impact,’ this year’s edition also marked the 50th anniversary of the Arab-German Chamber of Commerce and Industry (Ghorfa), celebrating five decades of strengthening economic ties between Germany and the Arab world.
According to the statement, Qatar was honored as the Forum’s Partner Country, underscoring its rising prominence as an international investment destination and strategic economic partner.
The forum is organised by Ghorfa in cooperation with QC and the Association of German Chambers of Industry and Commerce (DIHK). QC’s delegation was headed by Sheikh Khalifa bin Jassim bin Mohamed Al Thani, chairman of QC and First Vice President of Ghorfa.
Delivering the opening address, Sheikh Khalifa bin Jassim described the Arab-German Business Forum as a distinguished global economic platform that reflects the depth and continuity of the strategic partnership between Qatar and Germany, while also demonstrating the strength of long-standing Arab-German relations built on decades of cooperation and mutual trust.
He noted that this year’s forum carried special significance as it coincided with Ghorfa’s golden jubilee, recognizing the organization’s pivotal contribution to strengthening trade, investment, and economic cooperation between Arab countries and Germany over the past five decades.
Sheikh Khalifa emphasized that Arab-German relations have consistently been founded on trust, economic complementarity, and shared strategic interests. Germany’s industrial and technological excellence, combined with the Arab world’s investment capabilities and dynamic markets, has created a partnership extending beyond traditional trade into sectors such as energy, infrastructure, advanced manufacturing, innovation, and cultural cooperation.
Concluding his address, Sheikh Khalifa said the forum provided an ideal opportunity to strengthen strategic dialogue, establish new partnerships, and explore innovative areas of collaboration that would further consolidate Qatar’s standing as a global investment hub.
