File photo of Web Summit Qatar 2025. Web Summit Qatar has announced that the event’s startup programme is officially sold out, with over 1,600 startups from around the world set to gather at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Centre (DECC) from February 1-4, 2026. The event floor is also at full capacity, with leading global companies including IBM, TikTok, Microsoft, Huawei, Qatar Airways, Snapchat, and many more confirmed to partner. With demand continuing to rise, Web Summit expects the event to reach full capacity in the coming weeks. Returning to Doha for its third edition, Web Summit Qatar showcases Qatar’s leading role in the region’s growth as a global tech hub, driven by smart-city innovation, digital transformation, and diversification beyond oil. Discussions will explore how technology can tackle financial inequality, healthcare gaps, and climate challenges, reinforcing Web Summit’s mission to unite people and ideas that can deliver real-world impact. From Lisbon to Doha, Vancouver, and Rio de Janeiro, Web Summit has evolved into the world’s largest technology and innovation event series and the biggest gathering of entrepreneurs, policymakers, researchers, cultural figures, and global decision-makers. This year, Web Summit Qatar also expects more than 30,000 attendees from over 120 countries, and more than 700 investors and over 600 media to gather in Doha. A Web Summit spokesperson said: “We’re delighted to see an unprecedented level of interest in Web Summit Qatar 2026, especially from the startups which represent the future of technology. “Web Summit has always been the place where you meet the next decade’s most influential people, and with our unique combination of founders, investors and leaders across every sector, it is uniquely placed to help drive technological and economic progress.” Artificial intelligence (AI) is expected to dominate discussions at Web Summit Qatar 2026. AI is fuelling some of the biggest conversations shaping the world, influencing software, healthcare, sports, energy, creativity, and even space. AI will continue to take centre stage, with discussions about who is steering its development, who is funding it, and how executives, innovators, and investors can get real value from the technology. With a strong mix of content creators, media executives, and creative leaders attending, the event will also look at how technology is changing the way content is made, shared, and consumed. As AI transforms how people create content, new strategies are required for how to break through the noise. Beyond this, Web Summit Qatar will dive into the rise of quantum computing and its growing influence on the tech world, along with breakthroughs in fintech, energy, government, health, and manufacturing that are pushing global innovation forward. The ‘Web Summit Qatar Meetups’ will connect attendees with the people that matter to them. After introducing meetups in 2023 in Rio de Janeiro, Web Summit continues its mission to help build meaningful connections through meetups, powered by its proprietary software, Summit Engine. Aiming to create a more intimate and community-driven experience, the objective is to invite attendees to at least one personalised meetup. Qatar Museums Chairperson Her Excellency Sheikha Al Mayassa bint Hamad bin Khalifa al-Thani and Sheikh Ali Alwaleed al-Thani, the CEO of the Investment Promotion Agency Qatar (Invest Qatar), are among the confirmed key Qatari voices to grace the event. HE Sheikha Al Mayassa brings deep sporting, cultural, financial and organisational expertise to Al Shaqab, where her lifelong commitment to culture, education, and outreach has shaped numerous local and international initiatives. Sheikh Ali, a board member of Katara Hospitality, Media City Qatar, Qatari Diar, and the Qatar Free Zones Authority, is a leading voice in the country’s economic diplomacy. He previously worked at the Prime Minister’s Office on Qatar’s economic and investment agenda. Related Story
