I
have the honor to invite you to participate in The International Trade
Exhibition for Partner and Franchise. Targeting the Arab youth as partners
of the economic development,
this
event can be described as one of a kind in the State of Qatar and the
other Arab countries.
Youth are the cornerstone of every community. Channeling them into successful investment
is a challenge to be addressed by the Arab heads of states and
governments. Excluding youth from the decision-making processes and
neglecting their aspirations have only proven to lead to governments
suffering, like was the case in the Arab Spring.
As
a result, Qatar Promotion Board has taken the initiative for building a
dynamic network of international businesses, and for standardizing the
cost of efforts in the Arab world in general and the State of Qatar more
particularly. These endeavors stem out QPB s vision for a new generation
of business women and men and the establishment of an ever-expanding
economic base for medium and small enterprises, serving the requirements
of the nation and the Arab countries economy.
To
achieve this goal, the Council of Qatar Promotion Board worked hard to
promote ITE QATAR 2012 as the nucleus of the Arab efforts towards
developing youth projects as trading partner and the Franchise System of
the small and medium enterprises.
SMEs
constitute the pillar of economy in each Arab country. They help create
more job opportunities and develop products and services for the Arab
market, at a time when many international companies are showing interest
in this market and looking forward to having shares in it. Therefore, we,
organizers, are highly motivated to invite international companies to
showcase their products and services to Qatari and Arab investors in ITE
QATAR 2012.
However,
supporting and empowering Arab and world youth are not the responsibility
of one party without the other. In this context, ITE QATAR 2012 represents
a valuable opportunity for the Arab and world governments to join their
efforts in order to develop SMEs and to promote transactions between
international companies on the one hand, and Qatari and Arab investors on
the other hand. Last but not least, it is a genuine opportunity for
exhibitors, investors, and visitors to meet and learn about each other
products and services.
