The Middle East's first energy business hub, Energy City Qatar (ECQ), was officially launched Tuesday under the patronage of the Emir, Sheikh Hamad bin Khalifa Al Thani, at a glittering ceremony held at the Doha Sheraton.
Energy City Qatar will be the Middle East's first full-service energy business centre catering to the commercial, technical and human resource needs of the oil and gas industry operating in the regions, with cutting-edge facilities and services. It will also be home to a dedicated energy trading platform, the International Mercantile Exchange (Imex), which will be regulated by the Qatar Financial Centre Regulatory Authority.
