On May 20, 2025, the US-Qatar Business Council (USQBC), Doha, and The Business Year (TBY) signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) during the Qatar Economic Forum (QEF), reaffirming their strategic collaboration to spotlight Qatar's economic resilience and regional leadership in trade, innovation, and private-sector development.
Signed by Sheikha Mayes H. Al-Thani, Managing Director of USQBC Doha, and Vanessa Rameix, Regional Director of The Business Year (TBY), the agreement formalizes a strategic partnership around The Business Year: Qatar 2026, a flagship investment report spotlighting Qatar's key sectors, including finance, energy, healthcare, technology, and logistics.
The publication will feature insights from leading Qatari and American private-sector stakeholders, emphasizing the strength of bilateral cooperation and shared economic ambition. Through this collaboration, USQBC reinforces its leadership in advancing economic diplomacy and private sector engagement, while contributing to a research-driven narrative that positions Qatar as a stable, forward-looking hub for regional and global investment.
Reflecting on the partnership, Sheikha Mayes commented: 'At USQBC, we are committed to shaping narratives that reflect the depth and potential of the U.S.-Qatar economic relationship. This partnership with The Business Year is an opportunity to amplify the voices of our private sector, showcase Qatar's evolving investment landscape, and strengthen the bridge between our two business communities through meaningful, data-driven storytelling.'
Ms. Rameix added: 'Our previous partnerships with USQBC have been incredibly successful in highlighting the potential of the Qatari market to international investors. This renewal is a chance to continue that momentum and keep showcasing the opportunities in Qatar, through the voices of the international companies already succeeding here. With USQBC's strong focus on partnerships and bilateral support, we're excited to keep working together to drive real results and further establish Qatar as a key destination for global business.'
The MoU marks the continuation of a shared mission to foster investor confidence, promote economic diversification, and position Qatar as a resilient and attractive base for international business in the Middle East.
