QIA's first venture capital Fund of Funds is a strategic investment program designed as a catalyst to further strengthen the venture capital landscape in Qatar by attracting leading venture capital funds and entrepreneurs.

The program will invest more than USD 1 billion in international and regional venture capital funds and will place a priority focus on the tech and healthcare sectors. The program has a dual investment mandate to achieve good financial performance and deliver a positive development impact on the Qatari venture capital ecosystem.

Since it’s launch in 2024, the program has accepted its first cohort of leading VC fund managers. We are actively onboarding new fund managers and welcoming applications.​

The objective is to develop a vibrant start-up and venture capital ecosystem in Qatar, spurring investment, growth, and innovation. The program aims to help close the current funding gap for entrepreneurs by providing financial resources while facilitating broader ecosystem support (e.g., helping to navigate the local landscape, supporting business introductions), bringing global best practices and capabilities to Qatar. ​

By nurturing a robust venture​ capital ecosystem, the fund will help boost economic diversification, target sector growth, support local talent development, and promote sustainability across the State of Qatar. The program aims to:

• Provide USD 1 billion of funding to venture capital fund managers.

• Invest indirectly through existing venture capital funds and make targeted direct co-investments.

• Partner with fund managers with demonstrable track records of positive returns and commitment to Qatar.
