Dynamic opportunity for business generation and market penetration
Based on last year’s success, the 4th Annual Concepts Middle East 2012 is designed for time restricted purchasing professionals seeking new concepts and solutions for current and future projects. This highly focused gathering provides the ideal platform for design professionals and international suppliers to meet in a business-focused environment and establish working relationships.
Why GCC especially Qatar?
For the past five years Qatar has had the world’s fastest growing economy with a compound annual growth rate (CAGR) of 16%. This growth is taking place alongside the implementation of the Qatar National Vision for 2030, which – together with the country’s hosting of the FIFA World Cup in 2022 – will see yet more investment and opportunities in the building and interior infrastructure sector in the country.
Qatar’s abundant opportunities:
- Qatar’s economy in 2011 has a growth rate of 18% and GDP per capita of US$ 110,000
- Qatar’s construction sector is expected to reach US$12 billion by 2015
- Interior projects in the GCC region are estimated to be worth approximately US$ 60 billion in 2012
- Their tourism sector will create up to 80,000 hotel rooms by the end of 2016
- Qatar has announced an allocation of US$ 100 billion (or 87% of GDP) for improving its infrastructure for the FIFA 2022 World Cup
