History and objectives:
The Official Chamber of Commerce of Spain in Qatar, a non-profit association, was founded in Doha in 2009 as the Spanish Business Council and was officially recognized as a Chamber of Commerce in 2019 by the Ministry of Industry, Trade and Tourism of Spain. The Chamber is registered under the Qatar Financial Center with address in Regus Al Jaidah Business Centre.
The Chamber is part of the Federation of Spanish Chambers of Commerce in Europe-Africa-Asia-Oceania (FEDECOM) and maintains a permanent link with the Spanish Chamber of Commerce, Industry, Services and Navigation, which provides members the ability to benefit from the Official Chambers network around the world made of 42 Chambers abroad. Chambers abroad are also paramount for one of the main objectives of the Spanish Chamber of Commerce which is the internationalization of Spanish companies.
In this sense, with the aim of supporting the initiation and diversification of Spanish businesses in their internationalization processes, the Spanish Chamber of Commerce provides aid to companies through its company members.
Mission and objectives:
Its main objective is the development of trade and investment between Spain and Qatar and to promote the business of the Chamber’s members.
The Chamber offers its associated companies a range of commercial, promotional, information, advisory and logistical and administrative services. All this thanks to the members of your company to whom the services are directed. The Chamber can provide essential information on the Spanish and Qatari markets, as well as share professional contacts.
