The options in terms of Qatar Sponsorship & Partnership

While it is required by the local laws to engage or involve a local partner, a natural person with the nationality of the State of Qatar or a legal entity fully owned by a natural person with the nationality of the State of Qatar, who shall hold at least fifty-one percent of the shares of the proposed business (if it will be registered under and regulated by the Ministry of Commerce & Industry), it is permitted to hold up to one hundred percent of the shares of the proposed business (if it will be registered under the Qatar Financial Centre Authority, Qatar Free Zone Authority or Qatar Science & Technology Park).

The most relevant advantages for the engagement or involvement of a local partner are the support in terms of business development and stakeholder management in the country. Depending on the profile of the local partner, he or she may be able to supply you with business intelligence and project information and to advise or consult you on policies, strategies and/or tactics in the private and public sector in advance.
