QFC Hosts Participants of Executive Master’s Programme

The Qatar Financial Centre (QFC), a leading onshore financial and business hub in the region, has hosted participants of the Executive Master’s in Leadership programme at Qatar University’s College of Business and Economics (CBE).

The visit is part of QFC’s collaboration with Qatar Leadership Centre (QLC) to familiarise emerging Qatari leaders with the inner workings of Qatar’s financial ecosystem through an immersive educational experience.

Hosted at the QFC Tower 1, the third cohort of participants visited the organisation and engaged in interactive sessions with senior QFC leaders, gaining an in-depth understanding of QFC’s mandate, services, and strategic role within Qatar’s business and financial landscape.

The visit covered key sectors including financial services, professional services, Islamic finance, and fintech.

Highlights of the day included expert-led presentations from QFC and QFC Regulatory Authority professionals, a guided tour of the QFC’s Tech Circle and the Ministry of Interior desk, as well as a visit to the Qatar International Court and Dispute Resolution Centre (QICDRC), acquainting the future leaders with the institutions contributing to Qatar’s financial and regulatory environment.

"We are proud to welcome the next generation of Qatari leaders and to offer them valuable insight into QFC’s pivotal role in developing Qatar’s business and financial ecosystem.

 This visit underscores our ongoing commitment to nurturing national talent and advancing the Human Development pillar of Qatar National Vision 2030," said Hamed al-Saadi, Chief Financial and Tax Officer, QFC.

The collaboration underscores QFC’s commitment to knowledge exchange and talent development, aligning with its mission to support a diversified, knowledge-based economy.

By hosting students from QLC, whose programmes are designed to prepare high-potential Qatari professionals for future leadership roles, QFC strengthens the link between national leadership development and economic innovation.

Professor Yasir Fadol, CBE, Qatar University, said this valuable engagement, now in its third iteration, provided its students with an exceptional opportunity to interact with national leaders, gain firsthand insights into institutional strategies, and explore real-world challenges and successes.

"Such experiences are instrumental in equipping future leaders with the critical skills and contextual understanding needed to lead effectively within Qatar’s evolving economic landscape," he added.
