As part of the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology's (MCIT) ongoing efforts to support entrepreneurship and empower high-growth technology companies, the Ministry announced the graduation of 10 technology companies from the third cohort of the Scale Now program. Simultaneously, the Ministry launched the program's fourth cohort with the participation of 12 new companies, reaffirming its commitment to accelerating the growth of promising technology ventures and further strengthening Qatar's position as a regional hub for innovation and digital entrepreneurship.

The graduating companies have developed innovative solutions across a range of strategic sectors, including industrial technologies, health technologies, media technologies, agricultural technologies, e-commerce, enterprise technologies, and logistics. This diversity reflects the strength of Qatar's technology entrepreneurship ecosystem and the program's role in supporting companies that develop innovative solutions to address the evolving needs of local and international markets

The graduating cohort includes, in the Industrial Technologies sector, Syook, which operates as a no-code Industrial IoT and AI platform enabling real-time asset tracking, safety, and compliance.

Within HealthTech, Medica serves as a healthcare fintech platform automating insurance and revenue cycle management for hospitals and clinics, while Eshfaa functions as a digital healthcare and medical tourism platform coordinating care for local and international patients.

Across its first three cohorts, the Scale Now program has delivered tangible results that reflect its impact in supporting the growth of high-potential technology companies. Participating companies have collectively secured investments secured approximately $13.8 million in funding, closed 388 B2B deals, and achieved an average 32% revenue growth. In addition, entrepreneurs participating in the program have benefited from 569 hours of dedicated advisory support, while the program achieved an overall participant satisfaction rate of 89%, underscoring the quality of the experience and value delivered to participating companies

Commenting on the program’s achievements, Faraj Abdulla, Director of Digital Economy department at MCIT, said: "The graduation of the third cohort of the Scale Now program reflects the tangible outcomes the program has achieved in supporting high-potential technology companies and enabling them to grow, expand, and access new markets. Throughout the program, participating companies received tailored support covering capability building, mentorship, investment readiness, and connections with investors and strategic partners, in addition to assistance in developing expansion strategies and entering new markets.

These results reaffirm the program's success over the past three cohorts in helping innovative companies transform their ideas into sustainable commercial opportunities. With the launch of the fourth cohort, the Ministry will continue to support even more ambitious companies, contributing to the growth of the digital economy and advancing the objectives of Qatar's Digital Agenda 2030."

Ali Al Mawlawi, Director of Business Development Department at the Ministry of Commerce & Industry, stated: "The Ministry of Commerce and Industry is pleased to partner with MCIT’s Scale Now program, as part of our joint efforts to accelerate the growth of Qatar’s promising companies. Through this partnership, we will support entrepreneurs in areas such as capacity building, go-to-market strategies, and regulatory and financial guidance, thereby creating new opportunities for their success. This initiative reflects our commitment to empowering startups, fostering innovation, and advancing the Digital Agenda 2030, further reinforcing Qatar’s position as a leading hub for the digital economy."
The third cohort concluded with WareOne successfully expanding its operations into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia, a significant milestone that demonstrates the tangible impact of the Scale Now program in helping technology companies transform their growth ambitions into commercial success.
Commenting on this achievement, Sheikh Khalifa Al Thani, Founder and CEO of WareOne, said: "When we joined the Scale Now program, our goal was to better understand the local market. However, the program delivered far more than we expected. Expanding a logistics platform across markets requires more than funding—it demands strategic partnerships and a deep understanding of target markets. Through the program, we received practical guidance, access to an extensive network of experts, and mentorship that enabled us to successfully expand into the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia."

Today, the Scale Now alumni community comprises 29 technology companies. Alongside the graduation of the third cohort, the Ministry also announced the launch of the fourth cohort of the Scale Now program, welcoming 12 new technology companies. The companies have now entered the capability-building and strategic advisory phase, during which they will refine their growth strategies, strengthen their operational readiness, and prepare for expansion into local, regional, and international markets.

Scale Now continues to identify and support high-potential technology companies through a competitive selection process. The program is delivered in collaboration with strategic partners, including the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Qatar Development Bank (QDB), Qatar Research, Development and Innovation (QRDI) Council, and Invest Qatar. Together, these organizations provide an integrated support ecosystem that enhances companies' competitiveness, attracts investment, and enables sustainable growth, contributing to the achievement of Qatar's Digital Agenda 2030.
