As 2025 draws to a close, Startup Grind Doha and Nestwork are joining forces to host a definitive year-end celebration for Qatar’s startup ecosystem. Scheduled for December 22, this gathering is designed to be a “warm, energetic celebration” of the collective milestones achieved over the past year.

About The Event
This gathering marks a deliberate departure from the standard event format. The organizers have emphasized a “No panels. No speeches.

Whether attendees have launched new ventures, pivoted business models, or simply navigated the challenges of the year, this event serves as a communal space to celebrate those wins. It is positioned as a moment to bridge the gap between reflection on the past year and inspiration for the next, facilitating the kind of serendipitous encounters that often lead to future collaborations.
