The four-day event is organised by Qatar Chamber of Commerce and Industry, in cooperation with OCCI. Around 240 Qatari companies operating in various industrial fields take part at the exhibition.

During the opening ceremony, Al Kuwari spoke of the distinguished relations between the Sultanate and Qatar. He hoped that this exhibition will contribute in promoting the business relations between the two brotherly countries. He said that the exhibition provides businessmen in both countries with the opportunity to sign business deals.

A Qatari-omani Business Forum will also be held on the sidelines of the exhibition under the theme ‘Developing Industry: A Strategic Choice.’ More than 100 leading businessmen from both sides will take part in the forum, which will review investment and business opportunities available in the different industrial sectors.
