The Qatar Central Bank has opened the Madar Innovation Center to help innovators, financial technology companies and financial institutions develop and test solutions to financial and regulatory challenges. The launch aligns with Qatar’s Third Financial Sector Strategy and FinTech Strategy.
The center provides access to testing and piloting environments, specialist expertise and collaboration with relevant stakeholders. It is designed to help participants move ideas from initial exploration to viable pilot projects, preparing them for testing with financial institutions or wider market application once ready.
