Welcome to Fanar Qatar
Fanar Qatar (FQ) is a private-sector initiative conceived and developed by Shahed Khan under IDEEA Hub.
A National Initiative
Fanar Qatar (FQ) is a national initiative that goes beyond incubation. While building one of the region’s most advanced Innovation-to-Commercialization frameworks,
FQ’s primary mission is to attract already established, technology-driven companies with proven products and proprietary innovations to expand their presence in Qatar.
FQ is developing a streamlined facilitation process designed to ensure transparency, efficiency, and accelerated approvals through close coordination with the relevant authorities.
Mission
To position Qatar as the region’s leading manufacturer and exporter of proprietary technologies by uniting global innovation with national capability.
Fanar Qatar pursues this mission through selective international partnerships, sovereign investment frameworks, and an integrated training ecosystem that equips Qatari talent to drive industrial advancement at every level.t.
Vision
Within a decade, Qatar will be recognized as the technology-transfer capital of the Arab world
A destination where leading innovators, investors, and entrepreneurs converge to commercialize breakthrough products and close transformative industrial partnerships under the Fanar Qatar umbrella.
Beyond Innovation - A Gateway for Global Advanced Industries
Fanar Qatar is not a platform for experimentation.
It is a selective gateway for high-performing SMEs and mid-sized innovators that already demonstrate market success and technological differentiation.
Qatar, through FQ, offers them unmatched incentives—funding access, industrial zones, export facilitation, and regulatory fast-tracking—to replicate and scale their models in the Gulf and beyond.
In return, these companies embed local R&D, hire Qatari talent, and transfer real know-how into the country’s industrial base.
The Invited Partners
Fanar Qatar’s prospective partners are being carefully identified from among leading global advanced-industry clusters whose technologies align with Qatar’s industrial and innovation roadmap.
Their participation is envisioned under structured sovereign and private investment frameworks that will support the establishment of manufacturing units, R&D centers, and collaborative ventures in Qatar once formal endorsements are finalized.
All partnership models are expected to integrate education, training, and vocational components into their operations in Qatar — reinforcing the nation’s long-term goals for human-capital development under Qatar Vision 2030.

Where Vision Meets Experience, and Passion Shapes Purpose
“For over three decades, I have lived and worked at the intersection of innovation, industry, and global business development — across more than 25 countries and 20 industries.”
“From founding ventures to leading international market expansions, my purpose has remained constant: to transform ideas into tangible, world-class enterprises.
Armed with a B.Sc. in Industrial Technology from the University of Wisconsin, U.S.A., and a lifelong passion for manufacturing, entrepreneurship, and cross-border collaboration, I’ve seen firsthand how nations rise when they empower their people, technology, and industry to work as one.
That experience became the foundation for Fanar Qatar — a vision shaped not by theory but by decades of practice.
It represents a national pathway from innovation to industrial leadership, connecting Qatar’s intellectual capital, sovereign will, and private-sector energy into one dynamic execution platform.
This initiative isn’t just about factories or technology; it’s about building a legacy of capability — where every factory, product, and partnership forged in Qatar tells a global story of excellence, discipline, and progress.
I believe that the next frontier of the Muslim world’s prosperity will not be powered by resources, but by the mastery of manufacturing and innovation.
Fanar Qatar is my contribution to that journey — a structure designed to help Qatar lead the MENA region as a center of industrial innovation, technology transfer, and value-added production for generations to come.”
