MoCI signs strategic partnership programme with KIPO
Tribune News Network Doha The Ministry of Commerce and Industry has signed a strategic partnership programme with the Korean Intellectual Property Office (KIPO), representing a significant milestone in the development of Qatar's National Intellectual Property Strategy and the enhancement of institutional and human capacities in this key domain. The agreement was signed by Mohammed bin Hassan Al-Malki, Undersecretary of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, and Wan Ki Kim, Commissioner of the Korean Intellectual Property Office. The partnership stems from the Memorandum of Understanding on Intellectual Property signed between the State of Qatar and the Republic of Korea on 15 June 2023 in Seoul. The memo laid the groundwork for comprehensive bilateral cooperation in the field of intellectual property, and the newly signed programme represents a concrete step forward in its implementation. The programme is designed to support the formulation of an integrated national strategy for intellectual property in the State of Qatar. It also aims to implement a range of advanced initiatives to strengthen both institutional structures and human capital, thereby contributing to the country's shift towards an innovation-driven economy and supporting the evolution of legal and regulatory frameworks. Under the programme, both parties will collaborate in several priority areas. These include the development of human resources in Qatar's intellectual property ecosystem, benchmarking local practices against global standards, and conducting stakeholder consultations to identify the most suitable intellectual property systems for national needs. The programme will also facilitate the transfer of knowledge and expertise from the Korean side, with a focus on building the technical competencies of Qatari professionals working in this vital field. The Ministry and KIPO will jointly monitor and assess the progress of the programme to ensure the achievement of its objectives and to deepen cooperation between the two countries in the domain of intellectual property.

These new venues reflect QDF's vision to showcase local culinary talent and create dining destinations that embody the spirit and diversity of Qatar. Both Daily Chef Nouf and Slicy are now open 24/7 to serve passengers in Concourse A.

Located in QDF's Concourse A Food Park, Daily Chef Nouf brings her unique culinary vision to life with an all-day dining menu of elevated Qatari and regional classics —crafted with premium ingredients and presented with a contemporary twist. Signature dishes such as Madrouba and Majbous Hamour, as well as a dedicated Fatayer and Chapati menu invite travellers to experience the warmth and heritage of Qatar in every bite. This concept also builds on Chef Nouf's partnership with Qatar Airways, where she has served as a culinary consultant since 2023, developing authentic inflight dishes for Business Class menus. Thabet Musleh, Chief Retail and Hospitality Officer at Qatar Airways, said: 'We have partnered with Chef Nouf Al Marri to introduce a dining experience that is not only exceptional in quality, but showcases Qatari cuisine with a contemporary perspective. Whether our customers have a few minutes or a few hours, they now have the opportunity to enjoy the creations of one of the region's most renowned chefs—leaving the airport with a memorable taste of Qatar.' 'I'm honoured to be sharing the flavours of my country with travellers from around the world,' said Chef Nouf Al Marri. 'Food is a powerful storyteller, and I hope this new dining concept helps passengers experience the warmth, generosity, and spirit of Qatar, wherever their travels may take them.' Slicy: A local favourite with global appeal Also joining the food and beverage lineup is Slicy, a fast-growing, locally owned pizza brand known for its handcrafted New York-style slices with bold, creative toppings. With its roots in Doha, Slicy has gained a loyal following for its high-quality ingredients, playful menu, and community-driven spirit. Now open at HIA, Slicy offers passengers a relaxed setting that pairs international familiarity with local flavours—another example of QDF's effort to elevate and broaden airport dining with meaningful, locally inspired experiences.
