Doha, Qatar: An aviation technology startup supported by Qatar Foundation’s Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP) is driving digital transformation in the industry across the world.

EMMA Systems provides airport operators with a unique, real-time view of operations by visualising data and monitoring key airport systems. With its initial platform first deployed at Qatar’s Hamad International Airport (HIA) in 2017 as an information-sharing system, EMMA Systems enhanced the platform’s technological capabilities and built an impressive growth record, expanding its operations across Europe, the Middle East, and now Africa.

“Without the initial boost from QSTP’s grant, we would have faced significant challenges in getting EMMA off the ground,” said CEO and Co-Founder of EMMA Systems, Wisam Costandi.

“Looking back at our journey, I want to emphasise the importance of having the right kind of support for startups in the early stages of development. One of the major concerns is financing, and then access to resources like office space, mentorship and networking can be pivotal to young entrepreneurs. We are grateful to QSTP for their support and confidence in our capabilities, especially in the early stages of our growth,” Costandi added.

EMMA Systems AI-driven platform features solutions like Airport Collaborative Decision Making (A-CDM), which empowers airport administrators to make timely and informed decisions as well as the EMMA Unified Data Platform and the EMMA Messaging Tool that enhance operational coordination and efficiency.
