Financial technology opportunities for Qatar
Financial technology such as blockchain holds considerable opportunity for economic diversification, one of the four pillars of Qatar’s National Vision. This rapidly evolving market is a level playing field for forward-thinking nations to compete to become a FinTech hub, drawing considerable benefits from hosting a start-up that goes global. For Qatar to be an attractive host for FinTech start-ups, its regulations and policies may need to be adapted as other jurisdictions have begun to do. This forum is held by the Centre for Law & Development at Qatar University, Qatar’s law and policy research centre focusing on FinTech research and capacity-building. It brings together experts from industry and academia to share insights and discuss means by which Qatar can establish itself as a global hub for FinTech start-ups.
