Doha, Qatar: Dow Jones, publisher of The Wall Street Journal, has announced plans to open a base of operations in Qatar next year to further strengthen its role as a provider of premium business news and information across the Middle East and North Africa.

The announcement follows a partnership unveiled by Dow Jones last October, under which Qatar will host the Wall Street Journal Tech Live conference, a premier global gathering of CEOs, investors and technology leaders, starting next year and continuing for five consecutive years.

Dow Jones intends to register and operate within Media City Qatar, a leading hub for global media and technology companies that fosters innovation and collaboration in Qatar’s vibrant media landscape.

Sheikh Jassim bin Mansour bin Jabor Al Thani, Director of the Government Communications Office, stated on the occasion: 

“The establishment of Dow Jones’ Doha office, alongside hosting the WSJ Tech Live conference, marks a significant milestone in advancing Qatar’s technological growth and showcasing our supportive business environment to the world. This new presence will bring world-class business journalism and intelligence to Qatar, further enriching our expanding innovation ecosystem and solidifying our position as a prime destination for international media and technology companies.”
