With only 10 days remaining, Web Summit Qatar 2026 is preparing to transform Doha into a global meeting point for technology, innovation, and investment. From February 1–4, 2026, thousands of founders, investors, policymakers, and technology leaders will converge at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC) for one of the most influential tech events in the Middle East.
As the region accelerates its push to become a global innovation hub, Web Summit Qatar arrives at a moment when technology is no longer just enabling economies — it is actively reshaping them.
From Global Brand to Regional Powerhouse
Now entering its third edition, Web Summit Qatar has rapidly evolved beyond a regional satellite event. It has become a strategic gateway between East and West, attracting startups and enterprises seeking access to Middle Eastern markets while connecting regional innovators to global capital and expertise.
With tens of thousands of attendees expected from over 120 countries, Doha is set to host a truly international audience — reinforcing Qatar’s position as a growing center for entrepreneurship, digital infrastructure, and emerging technologies.
The Ideas Shaping the Next Decade
Web Summit Qatar’s agenda reflects the technologies redefining industries and societies worldwide. Over four days, attendees can expect deep dives into:
- Artificial Intelligence & Data — from enterprise AI adoption to governance, ethics, and real-world deployment
- Startups & Venture Capital — pitch competitions, founder-investor matchmaking, and startup showcases
- Cybersecurity, Fintech & Health Tech — sectors driving resilience, inclusion, and digital transformation
- Global Tech Policy & Leadership — how regulation and innovation intersect in a rapidly evolving world
- Emerging Frontiers — including quantum computing, energy tech, creative technologies, and next-generation platforms
The program blends keynotes, panels, masterclasses, workshops, and exhibitions, offering both strategic insight and hands-on learning for participants at every stage of the tech ecosystem.
More Than a Conference
What sets Web Summit apart is what happens beyond the main stage. From curated networking sessions and private roundtables to the renowned Night Summit experiences, the event creates countless opportunities for informal conversations where partnerships are formed and ideas gain momentum.
For startups, it’s a launchpad.
For investors, it’s a deal-flow engine.
For governments and enterprises, it’s a window into what’s coming next.
Why Web Summit Qatar Matters Now
As global technology ecosystems fragment and new innovation centers emerge, Web Summit Qatar plays a critical role in bridging markets, cultures, and capital. It supports Qatar’s broader vision to diversify its economy, attract global talent, and position itself as a long-term leader in technology and innovation.
At a time when AI, digital infrastructure, and regulation are reshaping global power dynamics, the conversations taking place in Doha will have implications far beyond the conference halls.
The Countdown Begins
With just 10 days to go, momentum is building rapidly. Attendees are finalizing agendas, startups are preparing to pitch, and global tech leaders are getting ready for four days of insight, connection, and opportunity.
Web Summit Qatar 2026 is not just a tech event — it’s a reflection of where the global innovation economy is heading next.
