South Korean energy optimisation company opens global hub in QFC
#Qatar #robotics – South Korea’s energy optimisation company EnergyX has relocated its global command centre to Doha and confirmed plans to move its international headquarters there. The Qatar Financial Centre-based operation will also build a smart robotics factory and a certified plus-energy building in the country as it consolidates command, engineering and production into a single hub serving Asia, Europe and beyond.
SO WHAT? – EnergyX’s relocation to Doha signals that Qatar is able to successfully attract global R&D and innovation, in competition with neighbouring Saudi Arabia and Qatar. The Gulf state’s goal is to become a leading digital economy, supporting innovation, entrepreneurship, and digital transformation. With its massive gas reserves and sizeable energy industry, Qatar is particularly well positioned to attract tech firms focused on the energy sector, encouraging R&D, innovation and advanced manufacturing in collaboration with its growing research ecosystem.
Here are the key details of EnergyX’s move to Doha:
South Korea’s energy optimisation company EnergyX has relocated its global command centre to Qatar Financial Centre, with a plan to move its international headquarters to Doha.
