تعزيز جاهزية الشركات للتمويل والاستحواذ

The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), through its Scale Now programme (Arabic: برنامج واصل), will host a panel discussion titled 'Fundable Today, Acquirable Tomorrow' on Sunday 1 November 2026, from 4:00 to 7:00 PM at QDB Scale7, M7, Msheireb, according to the official event page, where registration is currently open.

According to MCIT's event page, the session aims to deepen technology founders' understanding of the financial and operational metrics that investors and potential acquirers use to evaluate companies, and to explore ways to improve those metrics to strengthen readiness for fundraising, growth and expansion.

The discussion brings together experts in investment, financial management and entrepreneurship to cover unit economics, fundraising readiness, mergers and acquisitions (M&A) and exits, through expert insights and practical case studies, with time for attendees to engage with the speakers and ask questions.

The session will be moderated by Majed Lababidi, Director of Investment & Ecosystem Integration at Alchemist Doha. The panelists listed are: - Yousef Salem, CFO, ADNOC Drilling - Sara Daniel, Managing Director, Doha Tech Angels - Heni Jallouli, Group CFO, Jahez International - Faisal Alhaithami, Founder & CEO of Adori, described on the English page as a "3x Exited Founder". The Arabic page adds that Adori is one of the companies in Scale Now's fourth cohort.

The page lists three key topics: understanding the metrics investors and acquirers review at each stage and how to calculate the core ones; strengthening financial reporting, forecasting, the data room and investor conversations; and understanding what buyers look for beyond growth, including margins, retention, customer concentration and financial discipline.

According to the organisers, the session will close with a key takeaway from each discussion block and a 30-day commitment, so every attendee leaves with one number to improve and one practical action to take.

How to take part: register through the form on the event page (the Arabic page is linked as the main registration link on startupnews.qa; an English version is also available). The page does not give a registration deadline. MCIT notes that the event will be photographed and filmed, and that the footage may be used on its official channels.
