As the curtains draw to a close on yet another successful edition of the 'Qatar Economic Forum, Powered by Bloomberg', we reflect on a remarkable journey of innovation, collaboration, and of course, impact.
This year’s impressive gathering underscored Qatar's growing influence in global business discussions. It reaffirmed our belief that our partnership with BloombergLive has been instrumental in elevating Qatar's role on the global stage. Today, the forum emerges as one of the most influential business gatherings in the Middle East, driving meaningful change and fostering international collaboration.
Under the theme 'A World Remade: Navigating the Year of Uncertainty', the forum tackled critical issues shaping the future of global business. It drew over 2,700 in-person attendees, including more than 1,000 global leaders, CEOs, and government officials from 124 countries.
Together, they discussed topics ranging from geopolitics and globalization to trade, investment, energy, sports, entertainment, and technology.
Notably, the media played a pivotal role in amplifying the forum's impact.

Interviews with key participants resulted in prominent coverage across various platforms, including front-page features, online articles, and prime-time broadcasts.
The discussions held at the forum have the power to drive transformative change. With media amplifying these crucial conversations, we can influence policy, drive innovation, and foster international cooperation. The power of media exposure can turn insightful dialogue into actionable outcomes, helping us navigate the complexities of a rapidly changing world.
As we look ahead, we are committed to leveraging the insights and partnerships forged at this year’s forum. With the power of media, we can successfully navigate the year of uncertainty—and shape a more prosperous future, together.
