Qatar’s Namaa Social Development Center has concluded a small business forum focused on social entrepreneurship and sustainable community impact.
Held in partnership with the Entrepreneurship Center at Qatar University’s College of Business and Economics, the forum brought together entrepreneurs, experts and supporting organisations. It aimed to help small business owners strengthen their ventures and encourage university students to turn innovative ideas into sustainable projects.
The programme included workshops, discussion sessions and an exhibition featuring startups and support organisations. A session with Fahad bin Mohammed Al Attiyah, founder of Caravan Earth and Heena Salma, explored his experience in social entrepreneurship. Another panel examined the challenges facing small businesses and opportunities for their development.
Hamad Jaafar Al Saffar, director of entrepreneurship at Namaa, said business success should be measured not only by economic returns but also by its ability to create a positive and lasting social impact. He also highlighted the importance of connecting academic knowledge with practical experience, according to the announcement.
