Advisory & Stakeholders

Fanar Qatar’s strategic framework builds on a deep understanding of Qatar’s economic transformation priorities, identified through years of policy reviews, national planning documents, and the published advisory findings of the world’s leading consulting institutions.

Rather than reinventing the wheel, Fanar Qatar converts these validated recommendations into operational programs that accelerate implementation and bridge the gap between research, policy, and production.

Summary of Advisory Insights

Analyses by major advisory bodies have consistently highlighted the need for tighter coordination between research and commercialization, SME participation, improved ease of doing business, and faster regulatory approvals.

Fanar Qatar directly responds through an integrated, execution-driven model:

  • EY (Qatar)

    Integration of Education City assets, stronger research-to-industry linkages, and entrepreneurship pathways aligned with Qatar Vision 2030.

  • KPMG (Qatar)

    Single-window coordination, enhanced regulatory alignment, and full ESG integration across Qatar’s investment climate.

  • Grant Thornton (MENA)

    Structured SME commercialization pipelines and governance frameworks to attract mid-sized global innovators.

Integration

Fanar Qatar translates these insights into actionable reality — building the coordination architecture, industrial zones, and training ecosystems that turn policy into measurable performance.

Our framework is aligned with Qatar’s primary innovation and industrial authorities, ensuring that every initiative complements existing national efforts:

National Stakeholders

Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZ) — Industrial clustering and regulatory facilitation.

Qatar Research, Development and Innovation Council (QRDI) — Research-to-commercialization strategy.

Qatar Foundation (QF) — Education and applied research.
