Vora wins the Startup World Cup Qatar Regional 🏆🇶🇦

Vora was named Startup World Cup Qatar Regional 2026 winner, posting the highest overall score among 12 finalists from Qatar and international markets who pitched live before an international judging panel on 29 September at QFEX 2026 in Doha.

👤 The company is led by founder and CEO Anas Rustom, with co-founder Mazen Assayed.

❄️ Vora builds an AI device for the air conditioner you already own: it learns cooling habits, runs the AC automatically and flags faults before breakdowns. The company says it cuts cooling bills by up to 40%, in Qatar, where cooling takes around 70% of a building's electricity. Vora is incubated at QSTP and plans to launch in Qatar before expanding across the GCC.

🇺🇸 The road to the prize: semi-finals in San Francisco on 4 November with 200+ regional winners; 10 reach the Grand Finale on 6 November, and one of them becomes eligible for an investment prize of up to $1M.
