A major week is on the horizon for Qatar’s engineering and real estate community as the country prepares to host an exceptional lineup of events and gatherings from October 13 to 19.

During the week, industry professionals, developers, investors, and enthusiasts will converge at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC) to network, share cutting-edge knowledge, and find new opportunities in Qatar’s rapidly growing real estate and engineering sectors.

With an expected participation of more than 30,000 people, a series of major events will highlight various innovations in construction and real estate development.

It will also be an invaluable opportunity for firms to form business partnerships that focus on sustainable real estate and construction growth, in light of Qatar National Vision 2030. Companies and individuals stand to gain from potential investments worth hundreds of millions of Riyals.

Qatar Living, a Community Media Partner for the major upcoming events, takes a look at the four major exhibitions in detail and the value they create for the target audience.
