Qatari Businessmen Association

The Qatari Businessmen Association was founded by a ministerial decree no. 14 for the year 2002 as a nongovernmental, apolitical organization of a selective group of Qatari businessmen representing major private companies covering various sectors of the business community, in order to play a pivotal role in the development and progress of the private business sector with what serves its interests; to benefit and develop the components of economic development; and to increase the efficiency of the whole Qatari community. Since its foundation, QBA has made considerable contributions to the development of Qatari private sector, the enhancement of national economy, and marketing the Qatari economy abroad via sponsoring and organizing several important economic conferences and meetings, as well as hosting many economic and trade delegations from different countries.
