QDB opens up Russian market for Qatari enterprises

In its ongoing pursuit to create opportunities for Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) across fields and domains, Qatar Development Bank’s (QDB) investment arm has facilitated the entry of nine Qatari companies into the Russian market.

The Bank accomplished this feat through the “Soft Landing” program supervised by the Skolkovo Foundation, which enables growth-oriented enterprises to enter the Russian Federation’s market and grants them access to local partners and investors. The process of accessing and penetrating international markets is considered one of the prominent challenges for SMEs, especially as it entails in-depth research, data intelligence, and evaluation to identify and understand all the requirements related to those markets.
