Doha: Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZ) and Samsung C&T Corporation signed a landmark strategic agreement, reaffirming their long-term partnership on a series of high-impact, sustainability-driven, and innovation-led projects within Qatar’s Free Zones and the region.

The agreement was signed with HE Minister of Commerce and Industry and Chairman of the QFZ's Board of Directors, Sheikh Faisal bin Thani bin Faisal Al-Thani, and HE Ambassador of the Republic of Korea to the State of Qatar, Yoon Hyunsoo in attendance.

The agreement was formalized by HE Chief Executive Officer of QFZ, Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Faisal Al-Thani, and President and Chief Executive Officer of Samsung C&T Corporation, Se-Chul Oh, on the margins of the Qatar Economic Forum 2025, which was held over the course of three days.

Under the agreement, QFZ and Samsung C&T will collaborate on five transformative projects, which include: a Competency Center in Solar Technologies, a 285 MW ground solar farm, an off-grid rooftop solar energy solutions, a low-carbon bioproducts plant and a cutting-edge digital infrastructure project.

These projects reflect the shared commitment of both parties to advancing climate-conscious development while delivering long-term economic value through localization, job creation, and technology transfer. The projects are expected to generate significant employment opportunities across engineering, clean technology, and data services.
