Welcome to StartupTree

We aim to integrate the entrepreneurial ecosystem resources and is a knowledge hub supporting the entrepreneurial community through research, education, guidance, advice on public policies, and best-practice sharing for their business ideas to succeed and contribute to the economic growth and diversification. Its history goes back to 2020, when a scholar from HEC Paris in Qatar, a member of Qatar Foundation, Dr. Allan Villegas, started mapping the whole Qatar's entrepreneurial ecosystem that became books and articles. Later on, with the support of an academic grant from the QF Office of Higher Education, it lead the creation of a multiversity faculty group that will oversee, measure and guide the future of entrepreneurship and innovation activities in Education City, and then scale it nationally and regionally. Some of the flagship initiatives this group leads are: -HiEd Entrepreneurship & Innovation Summit -Student's Pitch Challenge -Wesal QF Entrepreneurship Student Club
