Hamad Mubarak al-Hajri, founder and group CEO of Qatar-based delivery and technology company Snoonu, has received the “Best Arab Entrepreneur in the Middle East” award.
The recognition was presented at the Arabreneurs Gala Dinner and Awards Ceremony, held at London’s Palace of Westminster on November 4, 2026. Organised by the Arab Entrepreneurs Board in Britain, the event brought together business representatives from the UK and the Arab world, alongside members of the House of Lords and Parliament, diplomats, investors and entrepreneurs.
Al-Hajri dedicated the award to his family and the Snoonu team, while stressing the importance of creating opportunities, sharing knowledge and supporting the next generation of entrepreneurs.
Founded in 2019, Snoonu has grown from a local startup into one of Qatar’s leading homegrown technology companies. The company became the first Qatari startup to surpass a valuation of QR1bn, before Jahez Group acquired it in 2025.
The award comes ahead of Snoonu’s participation in Qatar’s delegation to Web Summit Lisbon, adding to the company’s international profile and highlighting the expanding reach of Qatar’s technology ecosystem.
