HBKU, Web Summit sign multi-year agreement
The agreement builds upon the HBKU’s successful participation at last year’s Web Summit and will see the university participate in future editions of the world’s largest tech event, including those held in Doha, Lisbon, and potentially other international venues.
From the Web Summit Qatar 2025 onward, the HBKU will participate in a global dialogue on critical topics that inform Qatar’s national development priorities and showcase its expertise in applied research that contributes to the country’s society and economy and positively impacts communities around the world.
“Web Summit Qatar and our university are a reflection of the country’s establishment as a hub for technological innovation,” said HBKU president Dr Ahmad M Hasnah. “We both aim to foster a convergence of knowledge and industries in the Arab world that scales research initiatives in critical areas and strengthens its innovation and business landscape.”
“Our engagement with the Web Summit will ensure that we can promote Qatar’s dynamic knowledge-based economy to investors and stakeholders around the world,” he said.
The HBKU is contributing to the Web Summit Qatar 2025 with speakers and experts across a range of topics such as artificial intelligence, precision health, progressive education, and sustainability in line with the country and university’s priorities.
The university will also host technology showcases and start-ups developed within its robust incubation and development infrastructure, facilitated by its Office of Innovation and Industrial Relations.
HBKU faculty, scientists, researchers, and students will exhibit their technologies and start-ups over the course of the summit and engage with peers, investors, and stakeholders from around the world.
