Following FIFA's decision to hold the 2022 World Cup in Qatar, and the surrounding region's resilience to the current recession, the country has received much attention from a wide variety of foreign organisations and ranked 17th on a Global Competitiveness Report in 2010.[1]
On a domestic level, a brief insight into the government's future development plans reveals a nation dedicated to increasing spending whilst reducing interest rates - thus displaying its potential to realise the Qatar National Vision 2030.[2]
Assessing the projected construction outlook of countries like Qatar is no longer dependent on apprising the sometimes scant historical spending on infrastructure. Although the construction sector has seen a slight retardation, many governments including the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman and Qatar have prioritised their major infrastructure projects and are exercising tenacious advancement.[3]
There is however, an immense need to understand the challenges in sourcing materials, and developing the skills needed to execute and implement large projects such as the iconic football stadiums to be erected across the country.
With the aim of connecting a variety of industry specialists, the 3rdAnnual Concepts Middle East, produced by leading French business information company naseba, is taking place on February 22nd and 23rd 2012 at the Renaissance Doha in Qatar. It is hosting up to 100 leading architects, interior designers and construction consultants all involved in high profile projects across the Middle East, with a focus on those in Qatar's progressive construction industry.
"We strongly believe that planned projects will be continually supported by each respective government and government entities across the region - and Qatar in particular - in light of the Qatar Vision 2030. I believe the 3rdAnnual Concepts Middle East is certain to attract the leading players in the interior design industry," explained Fabien Faure, naseba Managing Director.
The two-day platform has already confirmed several industry expert speakers, such as Kevin Underwood, Vice President and Principal, AECOM Design + Planning; Tim Makower, Partner, Allies & Morrison, and Michel Mossessian, Principal, Mossessian & Partners.
