Summit Profile

Aspiring visions such as Qatar National Vision 2030 and National Development Strategy 2018-22, as well as the final construction phase of the 2022 FIFA World Cup, showcase Qatar’s sustainable goals and have brought about a considerable number of large-scale projects to the country.

Through its National Programme for Conservation and Energy Efficiency (Tarsheed), Qatar’s initiatives for increasing energy efficiency and achieving sustainability are driving significant spending in the retrofitting, energy efficiency and sustainability sectors.

Accordingly, the Retrofit Tech Qatar Summit is taking place on 12 - 13 September 2022 in Doha, to bring together the top stakeholders across these sectors to discuss these exciting visions and learn more about upcoming projects.

• In the second phase of the Tarsheed programme (2018 to 2022) Kahramaa aims to reduce per capita consumption of electricity and water by 8% and 15%, respectively
• In 2020, the Tarsheed programme reduced electricity consumption of 289 GWh, water consumption of 32 million cubic metres and natural gas consumption of 3,207 million cubic feet, representing a financial saving of QR300m
• The market size of lighting control systems for homes in Qatar is expected to increase from $24.82 million in 2016 to $108.23 million by 2022
• Qatar will offer significant growth opportunities for stadium lighting solution providers in the Gulf region, given the large-scale deployment of advanced stadium lighting solutions for the 2022 FIFA World Cup
• Growing adoption of energy-saving and cost-efficient lighting products and increased government focus on energy conservation are turbo-charging outdoor lighting’s market growth in Qatar
• All public transport in Qatar is to be converted to fully-electric operation by 2030. The gradual switchover includes public bus routes, state school buses and local Metro transport system buses in the capital Doha. As a first step, plans have already begun for a quarter of Qatar’s public transportation to be electrified by the start of the World Cup next year
