ARTIC, the international hotel investment and hospitality subsidiary of Al Faisal Holding Company, is one of Qatar’s largest private diversified industrial groups.
During the event, Entrepreneur Qatar recognised individuals who have demonstrated innovation and outstanding business conduct in their respective industry sector.  
Sheikh Faisal was awarded for his entrepreneurial leadership of ARTIC as it continues to build a world-class portfolio of 24 high-quality domestic and international hotel assets in prime city centre locations in the Middle East and Africa, Europe, and North America through its well-executed asset acquisition and development programme.
“It is a privilege to receive this unique award. I am grateful for Entrepreneur Middle East’s work on this initiative, which promotes the positive impact of entrepreneurship and innovation, particularly among young people, who are our future and whose efforts will guide the country’s progress and prosperity,” Sheikh Faisal said.
“This achievement reflects well both on our entrepreneurial approach to building ARTIC into a world-class hotel investment company and our commitment to developing Qatar’s tourism infrastructure through the construction of new hotels, resorts, and other tourism facilities.
“We are committed to contributing to the development of Qatar’s tourism sector and to diversifying the country’s economy in line with the Qatar National Vision 2030, under the wise leadership of HH the Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani,” he added.
