EAA announces collaboration with American Chamber of Commerce Qatar
The Qatar Scholarship Programme is one of EAA Foundation's flagship higher education and empowerment initiatives. It is built on three core pillars: access to quality education, civic engagement, and the Qatar Connection component.
The partnership opens new pathways for students to engage in academic, professional, and cultural exchange opportunities with leading international corporations as well as Qatari institutions from both the public and private sectors, most notably the Foundation's strategic partner, the Qatar Fund for Development.
The "Qatar Connection" component is designed to ensure that recipients of the Qatar Scholarship Programme remain actively connected to the State of Qatar. This is achieved through student exchange programmes, internships, and a wide range of cultural and community-based activities implemented in collaboration with partners in Qatar.
Through its network of member companies, the American Chamber of Commerce Qatar will provide Qatar Scholarship students with information on available training programmes, professional development opportunities, and job openings. The collaboration also includes the organization of joint events, including career fairs and professional meet-and-greets that will connect students directly with business leaders operating in Qatar.
Commenting on the partnership, Director of the Al Fakhoora Programme at EAA Foundation, Talal Alhathal said: "We believe that connecting students to real-world professional environments within Qatar significantly enriches their learning journey and equips them to become impactful leaders in their communities. We are pleased with this partnership which supports the vision of Qatar Connection as a bridge between education and the labour market for our scholarship recipients."
Chairman of the American Chamber of Commerce Qatar, Jay Turk added: "In my opinion, this joint collaboration with Education Above All complements our shared commitment to talent development by supporting scholarship recipients with opportunities to access training or programs through AmCham members. By joining forces, we aim to create a tangible, lasting impact both locally and internationally."

Swiss entrepreneur invites institutions, individuals from Qatar to Davos event
Ashraf Siddiqui Doha Anis Khan, a Swiss national and CEO of Zurich-based Intrapass GmbH, and organiser of the Global SME Summit has called upon Qatari institutions, entrepreneurs, and youth leaders to participate in the event, taking place from September 3–5, 2025, at the Davos Congress Centre, Switzerland. He made the statement while talking exclusively to Qatar Tribune. Originally from Bangladesh, Khan has lived in Switzerland for more than 50 years. A seasoned expert with a distinguished background in aviation security, he founded GSBH with an aim to create a global platform exclusively for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs). Motivated by the lack of international attention given to SMEs despite their massive contribution, approximately 70% to global economic growth, Khan decided to act. His aim is to give SMEs the visibility, tools, and networks they need to thrive on the global stage. Currently visiting Qatar, Khan intends to meet concerned institutions and entrepreneurs to invite them to the Global SME Summit in Davos. He said that it will be the first of its kind conference dedicated entirely to SMEs in a forum traditionally reserved for large corporations and policymakers. He said that the summit will feature keynote addresses, panel discussions, masterclasses, and networking sessions, addressing themes such as access to finance, entrepreneurship, innovation, resilience, and long-term growth. Khan's personal journey—from arriving in Switzerland with just $200 to leading a successful international business—is a testament to the power of perseverance and vision. Now, through GSBH, he is building a platform for others to achieve similar success, regardless of background. The initiative has already received strong support internationally, including from institutions in Bangladesh, Pakistan, Italy, and Thailand. Now it is seeking to attract the entrepreneurs from Qatar. Khan has praised Qatar's SME development efforts, especially those led by Qatar Development Bank and Qatar Financial Centre, among others which continue to support youth and technical professionals. 'We urge academic institutions, chambers of commerce, development agencies, and aspiring entrepreneurs—especially youth—to engage with this global movement. Your participation can help shape a future where SMEs are recognized not just as contributors, but as drivers of global economic growth,' Khan stressed. 'Let us come together in Davos to empower the next generation of entrepreneurs,' he concluded
