Welcome to Fanar Qatar
Fanar Qatar (FQ) - A Global Platform for Innovation, Industrialization & Export-Led Growth
Bringing together the Muslim world’s leading technology clusters, innovators, and institutions — anchored in Qatar, aligned with Vision 2030, and designed for execution at scale.
Fanar Qatar (FQ) is a private-sector–driven strategic platform established to position Qatar as a global hub for technology commercialization, value-added manufacturing, applied R&D, and export expansion.
What Makes Fanar Qatar Different
• Execution-focused, not conceptual
• Fully funded entry model — no SME cash equity required
• Structured collaboration with global clusters
• Advisory-aligned with international consulting standards
• Built for speed, trust, and long-term national value
FQ integrates global innovation clusters, advanced SMEs, institutional partners, and capital ecosystems into a single execution framework — enabling selected partners to move from innovation to market with speed, clarity, and strategic alignment
Mission
Fanar Qatar’s mission is to design and operate a disciplined, fully funded platform that converts advanced innovation into applied industry by integrating global technology clusters, SMEs, research institutions, and education providers within Qatar’s national ecosystem — delivering sustainable growth, skilled employment, and export-ready enterprises.
Vision
To position Qatar as the world’s most trusted hub for innovation-to-industry execution — enabling global technologies, institutions, and talent to transform ideas into scalable industries, exports, and long-term economic value.
Beyond Innovation - A Gateway for Global Advanced Industries
Fanar Qatar is not a platform for experimentation.
It is a selective gateway for high-performing SMEs and mid-sized innovators that already demonstrate market success and technological differentiation.
FQ strives to align them with unmatched incentives—funding access, industrial zones, export facilitation, and regulatory fast-tracking—to replicate and scale their models in the Gulf and beyond.
In return, these companies embed local R&D, hire Qatari talent, and transfer real know-how into the country’s industrial base.

Where Vision Meets Experience, and Passion Shapes Purpose
“For over three decades, I have lived and worked at the intersection of innovation, industry, and global business development — across more than 25 countries and 20 industries.”
“From founding ventures to leading international market expansions, my purpose has remained constant: to transform ideas into tangible, world-class enterprises.
Armed with a B.Sc. in Industrial Technology from the University of Wisconsin, U.S.A., and a lifelong passion for manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and cross-border collaboration, I’ve seen firsthand how nations rise when they empower their people, technology, and industry to work as one.
That experience became the foundation for Fanar Qatar — a vision shaped not by theory but by decades of practice.
It represents a national pathway from innovation to industrial leadership, connecting Qatar’s intellectual capital, sovereign will, and private-sector energy into one dynamic execution platform.
This initiative isn’t just about factories or technology; it’s about building a legacy of capability — where every factory, product, and partnership forged in Qatar tells a global story of excellence, discipline, and progress.
I believe that the next frontier of the Muslim world’s prosperity will not be powered by resources, but by the mastery of manufacturing and innovation.
Fanar Qatar is my contribution to that journey — a structure designed to help Qatar lead the MENA region as a center of industrial innovation, technology transfer, and value-added production for generations to come.”
