The Qatar Railways Company (Qatar Rail), the company overseeing the construction of the state's integrated railway network, will host a conference and workshops on the project in Paris next month.

The conference and workshops, to be conducted in association with Ubifrance, an agency for international business development, will take place at the Scribe Hotel on November 7 and 8.

The event will showcase emerging opportunities in Qatar Rail, develop partnerships and discover new business trends. B2B meetings will help French companies to improve their understanding of the project and seek opportunities to take part as foreign suppliers and investors.

It is aimed at bolstering partnerships between French and Qatari companies, particularly small and medium enterprises, and to stimulate the economic diversification of Qatar.
