The Qatar Financial Centre (QFC) has welcomed the establishment of Shorooq Doha Advisory Services LLC in Qatar after the firm received initial authorisation from the QFC Regulatory Authority. The Qatar office will be the UAE-based investment firm’s fourth regional presence, alongside its operations in Riyadh, Bahrain and Cairo.
Earlier in 2026, Shorooq launched a USD 200 million growth fund under its Qatalyst Series, backed by Qatar Investment Authority and other sovereign and institutional investors. The fund targets technology companies across the Gulf Cooperation Council at late stages of growth and ahead of initial public offerings. It aims to address a gap in growth capital and help companies prepare for public markets. The Doha office will allow Shorooq to work more closely with founders and institutions in Qatar.
