The Carbon Trust - ANGLE Low-Carbon Incubator |
Qatar Science and Technology Park
The tennant base has been expanded to 21 major corporations including EADS, ExxonMobil, GE, Microsoft, Shell and Total and QSTP has attracted more than $250 million in private funding for the research and development activities that are in progress on site. ANGLE was responsible for the strategic planning and management of QSTP. We were leading the research and commercialisation process in Qatar through a raft of QSTP programmes including the creation and growth of new technology companies, establishment of investment funds, and the delivery of an entrepreneurship training and mentoring programme. ANGLE provided a seven person management team to lead QSTP, while simultaneously training Qatari nationals for key leadership roles.
In addition the ANGLE US Management team were selected by the Qatar Foundation to undertake the development of a National Research Strategy for Qatar. The strategy underpins many aspects of the development of technology-based industry in Qatar. The work involved the development of comparative analyses of the research and development strategies of a wide range of other countries, coupled with an extensive consultation process within Qatar to arrive at a set of national research priorities and the development of the associated strategy and implementation plan. The formal inauguration of QSTP took place on the 16th of March 2009 in the presence of the Emir of Qatar. ANGLE are proud to have been responsible for the successful management of this $600 million project over the last 5 years. |
