I have very positive experience establishing my startup with Qatar Financial Center. It took me few days to issue CR, setup the company, issuing visa.

I believe startup ecosystem in Qatar has huge potentials, it's like blue ocean in some sectors of which new players can innovate and grow

There's still always room for developments of which international startups new to the country seek support and mentorship, and that's what I do in CoachableHub, a dedicated community of tech mentors and coaches to foster growth of those promising startups.

Qatar's startup scene is buzzing with potential! We need diverse funding, supportive regulations, top-notch education, strong mentorship, and market access to build a sustainable ecosystem. Collaboration is key: founders should engage in community events, investors should offer strategic guidance, academia should partner on R&D, and mentors should share their expertise. Successes like the Qatar Financial Centre and CoachableHub are great, but we still need more international collaboration and market support.
