“Our journey begins and evolves with our commitment to serve our current and future customers wherever they are, and to always deliver on our uncompromising product and service excellence.  We continue to ramp up our operations, scale up our infrastructure and build up our human and technological capital to meet and exceed the evolving needs of our customers, the ambitions of our shareholders and the rapid progress of our market; nowhere more evidently than in this landmark move to the center of Qatar’s sustainable, tech-powered city of the future. 

Lusail will not only draw in droves of SMEs, visitors and residents, but equally, create a wealth of  jobs in the real estate, hospitality, tourism and entertainment sectors, among others. For us, this makeup translates into ample opportunity for our group’s portfolio diversification and customer base growth.”
