Invest Qatar, the Investment Promotion Agency of Qatar, and the Real Estate Regulatory Authority (Aqarat) will participate in MIPIM 2025, the world's premier real estate event held in Cannes, France, to highlight Qatar's thriving real estate sector and diverse investment opportunities at the Qatar pavilion.

The pavilion will serve as a hub for leading real estate developers, including the United Development Company (UDC) and Qetaifan Projects, fostering connections between Qatar's real estate leaders and the global community.

In line with the national real estate promotion strategy, aimed at diversifying the economy and attracting foreign investment, Invest Qatar will showcase the country's economic strengths, world-class infrastructure and investor-friendly policies, making it an attractive destination for global real estate investors.

Qatar's real-estate sector continues to grow, driven by investor-friendly policies and strategic initiatives, including the Real Estate Regulatory Authority Strategy launched in December 2024. This strategy reinforces Qatar's commitment to a transparent, well-regulated market and aligns with the Third National Development Strategy 2024-2030, further enhancing investment opportunities and economic growth.

Invest Qatar CEO Sheikh Ali Alwaleed Al Thani said, "Our participation at MIPIM offers an ideal opportunity to engage with global investors and highlight Qatar's thriving real estate sector, which is projected to maintain its growth trajectory with an annual growth rate (CAGR) of 4.1 percent by 2028. With a strong regulatory framework, stable economy and world-class infrastructure, we look forward to attracting investment and driving sector growth."

Aqarat Chairman Eng Khalid bin Ahmed Al Obaidli said, "MIPIM 2025 provides a vital opportunity to engage with industry leaders and investors looking for high-growth markets. Qatar's evolving real estate landscape, backed by government-supported regulations and a thriving economy, makes it an attractive destination for long-term investment."

Qetaifan Projects Chairman and Managing Director Sheikh Nasser bin Abdulrahman Al Thani said, "We appreciate the collaborative efforts by Aqarat and Invest Qatar to showcase Qatar's vibrant real estate development market globally. This sector presents exceptional investment opportunities, reflecting our nation's ambitious vision.

"Our participation in MIPIM 2025 presents a significant opportunity to promote Qetaifan Island North as a premier recreational tourism destination, highlighting Maryal Waterpark, home to the world-record-holding 'The Rig 1938' waterslide, and showcasing the prestigious projects of our partners 'Les Vagues' by Elie Saab, developed by Dar Global, and 'The Grove' designed by Zaha Hadid and developed by JMJ.

This participation at MIPIM is crucial for exploring new avenues of growth through strategic networking and partnerships, aiming to deliver sustainable and innovative solutions that effectively meet market demands and serve the needs of our community.

UDC President and CEO Yasser Salah Al Jaidah said, "As a leader in Qatar's real estate sector, UDC is proud to showcase its groundbreaking projects at MIPIM 2025. With a strong focus on innovation and sustainability, UDC continues to set new benchmarks in urban development, as reflected in our record-breaking achievements on The Pearl and Gewan Islands. Our commitment to excellence not only enhances Qatar's real estate landscape but also reinforces its position as a premier global investment destination."

Qatar's real estate market has emerged as one of the fastest-growing sectors in the country, witnessing a 34 percent growth from 2015 to 2023 and a 50 percent increase in the number of issued building permits. Qatar's investment landscape is also strengthened by its prime location, offering global connectivity, exclusive property residency incentives and a resilient economy projected to reach $288 billion by 2027. A transparent regulatory framework and continuous investment in world-class infrastructure further enhance the sector's attractiveness for investors.
