 October 22nd – 25th, 2018

From October 22nd – 25th, SBC International Consulting organized a Qatar exploration trip for World Cup and major event suppliers. During four busy days, suppliers were introduced to a wide variety of public and private stakeholders active in the preparation and implementation of up-coming mega-sports and convention events.

Through in-depth case discussions, the international participants learned about the various formats of corporate registration in Qatar, potential (JV) partners, developing business opportunities, as well as about particular local challenges resulting from the future accommodation of hundreds of thousands of fans and spectators.

Future exploration trips will match further international suppliers with local opportunities and partners.

Dieser spannende und lebendige Vortrag

• betrachtet die Rolle der WM als Katalysator auf dem Weg zur “Nationalen Vision 2030”,
• untersucht dabei die größten Herausforderungen in Bezug auf Demografie, Organisation, Infrastruktur sowie Kultur,
