QSTP XLR8 Demo Day 2025 encourages new generation of Qatar's tech innovators
Tribune News Network Doha Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP), member of Qatar Foundation, concluded the 15th cycle of its XLR8 program with a Demo Day that showcased Qatar's emerging tech innovators. Held at QSTP, the event brought together teams that pitched their ideas and prototypes to investors, business leaders, and key players from Qatar's growing tech ecosystem. After 14 weeks of hands-on mentorship and training, eight teams stepped up to share their innovative solutions tackling real-world challenges across different industries. Palazzi Instruments took home first place with an innovative, lightweight device that measures an athlete's speed — an effective solution coaches can use to boost performance. Ask Sanad came in second, offering an AI-powered platform that helps students across the MENA region navigate the tricky process of choosing the right major and university based on what truly matters to them. Meanwhile, VitalSort AI earned third place by easing the pressure on busy emergency departments, automating claim documentation and coding to cut down delays and errors. The top three teams will gain access to dedicated office space at QSTP for three months, personalized mentorship, and a strong network of industry experts to support their growth. To further accelerate their progress, each team will also be awarded a MacBook Air laptop. Hayfa Al Abdulla, innovation and entrepreneurship director at QSTP, emphasized the importance of Demo Day as a milestone for aspiring entrepreneurs. She said, 'Every cycle of the XLR8 program brings forward fresh energy and sharper ideas, and the fifteenth cycle was no exception. The passion, drive, and ingenuity on display today reflect the remarkable potential of Qatar's emerging entrepreneurs and I extend my heartfelt congratulations to all the teams, especially the winners, for their achievements. As we look ahead, we remain committed to advancing a science and tech ecosystem that is rapidly becoming a global destination for innovation with real-world impact.' The Demo Day also featured a fireside chat, 'Breaking Barriers: A Startup's Journey into Uncharted Territory,' with Hamad Hadeed, CEO of Cytomate – the first proactive cybersecurity company in the MENA region and a success story from QSTP's ecosystem. Commenting on the impact of XLR8 on Qatar's entrepreneurial ecosystem, Asma Al Jefairi, Head of Digital at Qatar Museums, said: 'Programs such as XLR8 play a huge role in the Qatari ecosystem, especially in supporting talent and entrepreneurs to move from concept to execution, and providing them with the right network of mentors and resources. QSTP is a major contributor to partnerships and ecosystem development, helping ensure that there is a pool of tech companies that not only provide unique ideas but also support entities within Qatar in a creative and innovative way. I have used one of QSTP's startups, Monet, in one of my own projects where they helped us digitize around 40 collections at Qatar Museums.' This collaborative and supportive environment was echoed by the winning team. Giuliano Franco Palazzi, representing Palazzi Instruments, said: 'We are really happy to have gotten first place. The environment at QSTP really helped us; people were always willing to support us, including outside formal hours. We received valuable expert guidance and even people not directly involved in mentoring were happy to share advice and feedback and the kind of support we received made a big difference.' An expert panel representing Qatar Museums, European Business Angels Network, and tech startup Eldhow, evaluated the pitches based on their commercial potential.

Alexis Bledel Recalls Her ‘Deeply Upsetting' Story on ‘Handmaid's Tale' in Rare Interview
After taking a step back from acting, Alexis Bledel gave a rare interview in which she reflected on her last role before her hiatus. Bledel, 43, discussed her time on The Handmaid's Tale with The Hollywood Reporter on Thursday, May 22, ahead of the show's series finale, saying, 'I was actually offered the role [of Emily] and when I read the pilot script, I immediately said yes. Somehow, [creator] Bruce [Miller] just knew I had Ofglen in me.' Bledel broke down the difficult story lines written for her character, who faced sexual abuse amid upheaval in Gilead. 'It was deeply upsetting to even imagine Emily going through something like that," she added. "Being captured, powerless, with no say over her body." Miller weighed in on how The Handmaid's Tale explored controversial topics, adding, 'Every time I thought Hulu would balk at a controversial story line, they didn't. It's a story of a society that's built on rape. You're going to show sexual assault because that's what it's built on." 'The Handmaid's Tale' Cast: See the Hulu Show's Stars Then and Now He continued: "I'm trying to minimize what we see and maximize what we feel. You don't need to be there to see what happened to poor Emily, but when we show the impact, that should be real. So real that you think you saw it.' Bledel's insight comes after the actress stepped away from Hollywood. She previously surprised The Handmaid's Tale viewers when she announced her exit after season 4. "After much thought, I felt I had to step away from The Handmaid's Tale at this time," she told Variety in a 2022 statement. "I am forever grateful to [executive producer] Bruce Miller for writing such truthful and resonant scenes for Emily, and to Hulu, MGM, the cast and crew for their support." Despite Bledel's character no longer being on the show, fans have still wondered whether she could return ahead of the series finale. Miller addressed the possibility during an interview with Us Weekly in April, "I don't know who that is. ... I'm just kidding." Breaking Down Biggest Differences Between 'The Handmaid's Tale' TV Show and Margaret Atwood's Book Miller dodged the question but did hint at some surprises. "There are so many people who I wish came back," he added. "We've had such good luck with our guest stars just as people and how wonderful they are. But I don't want to blow anything." In addition to her rare interview, Bledel recently signed on to narrate the audiobook for the 50th anniversary edition of Natalie Babbitt's novel Tuck Everlasting. 'It has been an amazing experience to revisit this world,' Bledel said in a statement earlier this month. 'Tuck Everlasting holds a special place in my heart, having played Winnie Foster in the film many years ago. Narrating this beloved story for its 50th anniversary edition is a wonderful journey back into a tale that challenges us to think about what it truly means to live a meaningful life.'
