Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP), a part of Qatar Foundation Research and Development, has welcomed 14 local technology projects to its Accelerator programme in its second round since the launch earlier this year.
In September, QSTP’s Innovation team hosted a special welcome reception for the new Accelerator participants. Projects in this latest cohort cover several sectors crucial to Qatar’s economic development, including health, education, communications, sport and construction, according to a statement.
Participants were accepted into the programme through a public application process and through QSTP programme partners, including Qatar Computing Research Institute and the Supreme Committee for Delivery and Legacy’s Challenge 22 initiative, contributing three and five projects, respectively.
The official roster of projects for the second round was unveiled at the reception: Ergonomic T-Shirt, Braille Touch, MaktApp, Metis, Plug & Play, EcoGym, V3V, Tweet Mogaz, Aingel, Tactile Palm Communicator, Scalable Synthesis Aerogels, FitPet, Monitoring Exercise and a new Hololens Fan Experience.
Hamad al-Kuwari, QSTP managing director, said, “We are energised and excited by the success of QSTP’s local technology Accelerator as we welcome and congratulate this inspiring group of entrepreneurs.”
Saleh al-Mansoori’s MaktApp, for instance, aims to offer SMEs a portfolio of cloud services and all-in-one IT solutions. FitPet, a health promotion mobile app for Qatar, will provide daily activity data of its users.
The QSTP Accelerator is a three-month programme designed to provide aspiring entrepreneurs with training and mentorship to help them take their ideas to the market.
