QDB Unveils Partial Guarantee Investment Programme To Promote Investment & Empower Qatar's Private Sector


(MENAFN- Gulf Times) Qatar Development Bank (QDB) has unveiled the specifics of its Partial Guarantee Investment Programme, introduced in late 2024 to stimulate venture capital investments in Qatar.
The programme aims to reduce financial risks, encouraging both individual investors and investment groups to invest in tech startups.
Commenting on the initiative, QDB CEO Abdulrahman Hesham al-Sowaidi said the Partial Guarantee Investment Programme aligns with QDB's vision of building a diversified economy.
“Our goal is to strike a balance between fostering venture capital investments and mitigating the risks that may deter investors from engaging in venture capital activities in Qatar,” he said.
“This programme supports the aspirations of the private sector and aligns with the objectives of the Third National Development Strategy, which focuses on sustaining growth, advancing technological sectors, and empowering the private sector,” he added.
The programme targets individual investors, investment groups, clubs, and local funds interested in investing in Qatari startups. Through its investment arm, QDB will provide partial guarantees to encourage eligible investors to expand their portfolios.
The guarantee is available based on specific eligibility criteria for both companies and investors. Eligible companies must be based in Qatar, ensuring neutrality in the investment process.
