We’re looking forward to welcoming our members tomorrow morning for our VAT & E-Invoicing Breakfast Forum with Deloitte at JW Marriott Marquis City Center Doha.

And for those of you who registered early and were lucky enough to secure a seat — we’ll see you in the morning!

Taking place from 8:00–11:30am, the forum will bring together finance, tax and business professionals for a practical discussion around Qatar’s evolving VAT and e-invoicing landscape, GCC developments and what these changes could mean for businesses.

A valuable opportunity to gain insight, ask questions and connect with fellow BCCQ members and business professionals.

Please note: this event is now fully subscribed, and attendance is limited to registered guests only.

Thank you to Deloitte for partnering and helping us bring this important conversation to our business community.

We look forward to seeing you tomorrow!

THE VALUE OF THE RIGHT BUSINESS CONNECTIONS

In business, having a large network is valuable.
But having access to the right people, in the right rooms, at the right time can make a far greater difference.

At BCCQ, we believe meaningful business connections go beyond exchanging business cards.

They can create:
Insight — hearing directly from people with knowledge and influence in your market.
Introductions — connecting with businesses and individuals who can open new conversations.
Collaboration — finding opportunities to work with businesses facing similar challenges or pursuing complementary goals.
Visibility — putting your business in front of the people who matter to your sector and growth.
Opportunity — building relationships that can develop into something much more valuable over time.

That’s why our programme goes beyond traditional networking, bringing members together through business breakfasts, industry briefings, leadership sessions, business dinners and strategic relationships with organisations.

Our upcoming VAT & E-Invoicing Breakfast Forum with Deloitte on 09 September is a great example.

This complimentary BCCQ member event is specifically designed for finance, tax and accounting professionals, providing practical insight into Qatar’s VAT and e-invoicing developments, readiness considerations and potential implications for businesses.

BCCQ members can nominate up to two colleagues from their organisation to attend. So, if you are not responsible for finance, tax or accounting, simply pass your invitation on to the right person in your business.

For us, this is what meaningful business connection looks like. Not simply creating another room to network in but creating the right room for the right conversations to happen. And as BCCQ grows, so does the depth and diversity of the network available to our members.

Please join us in welcoming the latest organisations to become part of the British Chamber of Commerce Qatar.

August is traditionally one of the quieter periods in Qatar, with the summer heat at its peak, but at BCCQ, it certainly hasn't felt quiet.

Throughout August, we have continued to welcome new organisations into our growing business community, a positive reflection of the confidence businesses are placing in the Chamber and the value they see in our network.

Today, we are pleased to introduce our newest BCCQ members who joined us during August.

Every new member brings new expertise, perspectives, relationships and opportunities into the Chamber, strengthening the network for everyone already within it.

And as our community grows, so does the network available to our members. Through the Member Only area of the BCCQ website, members can log in with their username and password to access the online Member Directory, a continually growing resource connecting you with BCCQ member businesses and individuals, as well as our Board and Chamber team.

Whether you're looking for a fellow member business, a professional contact or simply want to stay connected with the wider Chamber community, the directory is there for you to use throughout your membership.

Your BCCQ network doesn't stop when an event ends — it is accessible to you online, throughout your 12-month membership. As BCCQ grows, so does the potential for introductions, collaboration and meaningful professional connections.

Looking ahead

Q4 will bring an expanding programme of business briefings, networking events, leadership sessions, sports days and dinners, continuing through the final months of 2026 and into 2027.

With more than 200 individual members and over 100 member companies, BCCQ is growing alongside that business community.

To our newest members — welcome. We are delighted to have you with us.

To our existing members — thank you for being part of the network that makes BCCQ what it is.
