(MENAFN- Gulf Times) The shifting of Qatar's International media Office (IMO) to Msheireb Downtown Doha (MDD), establishes the latter's position as Qatar's key global hub for media and communication, Msheireb Properties said.
The IMO is the first governmental media-related entity to officially open its doors in MDD. The IMO is a key contact point for all regional and international media, NGOs and think tanks, communicating the vision, policies, programmes and official state positions while also providing media support to Qatari government entities.
As part of the move, Q Life – the cultural platform under the IMO – will open a public gallery to host events and exhibitions that spotlight the people, stories and ideas powering Qatar's development. Responsible for organising the annual Match for Hope charity match and the recent Qatar Adventure Metaverse activation, which launched on November 29, Q Life will bring new experiences and innovative programmes to MDD.
In a press statement, IMO director Sheikh Thamer bin Hamad al-Thani said:“The opening of Q Life's public gallery aims to become a community hub, hosting events and activations that showcase Qatar's cultural heritage and spirit. We look forward to creating a space that connects and engages diverse audiences both at home and abroad.”
Msheireb Properties CEO engineer Ali al-Kuwari said MDD has transformed the heart of Qatar's capital city into a model for smart, sustainable operations, and the home of innovation.“It is our mission to change the way people think about urban environments and we are on track to exceed 90% occupancy by the end of the year. MDD is fast becoming the undisputed home of media connectivity in Doha, and we welcome this accolade,” he said. MDD exemplifies sustainable digital development by utilising smart grids and sensors to optimise energy consumption and reduce environmental impact, he added.
