What our community says...
They didn't ask 'How are you doing?', but rather 'How are we doing?'
Qatar is a springboard for startups. It’s a small country with large, world-class projects and startup-friendly programs. Once QSTP invested in us, they became part of EMMA. They didn’t ask ‘How are you doing?’, but rather ‘How are we doing?’. It was important to have an institutional ally to help us navigate the startup ecosystem and the entrepreneurial journey at each stage. The Tech Venture Fund essentially allowed us to double down on commercial outreach, and to invest in sales and marketing.
QSTP PROVIDES A TRULY UNIQUE INNOVATION AND RESEARCH ECOSYSTEM THAT FOSTERS COLLABORATION AND KNOWLEDGE SHARING.
Through the QSTP ecosystem, EMRQ has been successful in partnering with others for many years. Examples of these partnerships are with IOC research centers, HBKU, QEERI and TAMUQ and have led to meaningful research advances in areas such as water reuse. The atmosphere created by QSTP can be credited with fostering these collaborations”
The QSTP funding enabled the team to finalize the development of our platform.
The QSTP funding enabled the team to finalize the development of our platform, which included both hardware and software development, but was especially crucial in terms of the hardware required at a time when there was so much uncertainty around manufacturing.
Bonocle created the first ever braille education and entertainment platform that enables blind users to access information and other content that was previously hard to reach.
QSTP FREE ZONE HAS BEEN INSTRUMENTAL IN SUPPORTING QSRTC'S RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EFFORTS.
Being a part of QSTP’s innovation ecosystem has provided us with direct access to Education City’s institutions and centers, fostering an environment of collaboration and creativity.
