President’s Message

The Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Aqarat) is honored to organize the third edition of the Qatar Real Estate Forum—a premier platform that brings together government officials, investors, and real estate developers to address key industry issues, explore investment opportunities, and forge partnerships that drive growth and innovation.

This year’s edition carries exceptional significance through its strategic partnership with our brothers in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, the official guest of honor. This partnership is embodied in the Kingdom’s integrated government pavilion, which brings together some of its most prominent government entities and authorities engaged in developing and regulating the real estate sector in the Kingdom. This collaboration reflects our shared commitment to deepening integration and cooperation while offering a distinguished platform for exchanging expertise and successful experiences between our two states.

The third edition also places strong emphasis on the pivotal role of government in shaping the sector. It highlights recent legislation and policies designed to create a safe and stimulating real estate environment, strengthen investor confidence, and establish a robust regulatory framework that ensures sustainable and well-organized growth—aligned with the goals of Qatar’s Third National Development Strategy 2024–2030.

This year, we devote special attention to the investor journey by reviewing the stages of investment and the best practices that help investors maximize the promising opportunities offered by Qatar’s real estate market. Forum sessions will further examine ways to streamline procedures and enhance the overall investor experience, reinforcing Qatar’s position as a leading real estate investment destination distinguished by transparency, efficiency, and ease of doing business.

In light of global transformations, this forum will feature a dedicated section on the latest digital innovations revolutionizing the sector, including smart platforms and advanced data analytics. These technologies play a vital role in enhancing transparency, facilitating investment, and unlocking new horizons for growth in Qatar’s real estate landscape. Moreover, the forum will highlight the most prominent projects that are shaping the future of the sector and defining Qatar’s urban and economic development trajectory.

In conclusion, we at the Real Estate Regulatory Authority look forward to your active participation in the sessions and activities of this year’s forum. Together, let us ensure its success as we continue to advance our beloved nation’s aspirations for a more sustainable and prosperous future.

H.E. Engineer Khaled bin Ahmed Al Obaidli
