dmg chooses Qatar and the DECC for new Middle East enterprise

28.05.2017

The Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC) has formed a partnership with dmg events Middle East, Asia & Africa to bring the organiser’s leading portfolio of interiors, design and construction exhibitions to the GCC region. The partnership, which includes the regional launch of several of DMG’s leading events, also sees dmg establish an office in Qatar, following approval from the Qatar Financial Centre and Qatar Tourism Authority.

Commenting on the move and venue partnership, dmg design division portfolio director Tony Crinion said the State of Qatar now presents huge opportunity for interior, fit-out and construction suppliers looking at the Middle East. “Arguably the largest untapped business opportunity for the Interiors and Construction sectors in the Middle East, Qatar has ambitious plans for the future following their ‘Qatari National Vision 2030’.”
 
Index Qatar will be DMG’s first addition to this portfolio. This large-scale international trade show will provide unique access for the supply of interiors and fit-out services to the commercial, retail, residential and hospitality sectors in this dynamic market. The exhibition brings suppliers, manufacturers and sellers to meet over 200,000 key buyers and specifiers, including 5,000 local architects, designers and procurement specialists, to meet with more than 200 regional and international suppliers. The event takes place on 13-15 November and is expected to cover around 4,000sqm.
 
“With no dedicated Interiors event already existing in Qatar, we felt it was as an opportune moment to bring the Index brand to Doha,” explains Crinion. “Not only an exhibition, the event will act as a meeting place for Qatar’s growing design community and will provide them with an important platform to source new products and suppliers; be inspired and learn about the latest International trends as well as discuss important industry topics.
Already the wealthiest nation on the planet and one of its fastest growing economies, Qatar is quickly diversifying away from its traditional reliance on hydrocarbons and focusing on large-scale sustainable infrastructure development, medical and health, tourism and services.
 
Combined with hosting the FIFA 2022 World Cup, a reported $500 million dollars is currently being spent weekly by the government on infrastructure and property development projects. This fundamental market shift is outlined in Qatar’s National Vision 2030 and backed up with US$220+ billion of government investment which is being poured into the design, construction and fit-out of major commercial, retail, residential, hospitality, transportation, leisure and recreation projects by 2022.
