The Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) is introducing "targeted incentives" for companies looking to enter or expand within the Qatari market as it returns to Web Summit with renewed focus.
Firms that register with QFC during the Web Summit, currently taking place, will benefit from waived registration and annual fees for the first three years, tax credit granted for the first three years, in line with international standards, provided the applicant selects at least one technology activity from the approved activities list.
The "targeted incentives" comes on the back of building strong momentum at last year's edition, which saw more than 700 companies registered with the QFC in just four days,
The QFC's return to Web Summit Qatar 2026 comes under the Start-Up Qatar Pavilion with a renewed focus on accelerating business set-up and supporting innovation-driven growth.
The QFC is enhancing the registration experience through an integrated, one-stop-shop business setup model, with the presence of representatives from the Ministry of Interior and the Ministry of Labour enabling companies to complete key regulatory procedures and related permits in a single location.
As part of this streamlined approach, instant corporate banking services are available, with QNB and Doha Bank hosting dedicated booths at Web Summit Qatar to support new registrations.
In parallel, the QFC maintains agreements with multiple banks across Qatar, giving companies the flexibility in selecting their preferred banking partner.
This service enables eligible firms to open corporate bank accounts swiftly, reducing administrative hurdles and allowing businesses to become operational in a shorter timeframe.
The QFC's participation at Web Summit Qatar underscores its ongoing commitment to building a streamlined, competitive business ecosystem.
By pairing attractive incentives with practical, end-to-end support, QFC continues to position Qatar as a preferred destination for global companies seeking long-term growth in the region.
