1 Light Equipment, Business Services, & Other INVESTMENT OPPORTUNITY: Assembly of glass fiber optic cables

2 Executive summary There is an opportunity to establish or expand a local facility for the assembly of cables to allow for fiber optic specifications. This could be a prospect for an existing local player with assembly machinery for power cables or an international fiber optics company. Glass fiber optic cables are widely used in telecommunications and the market is currently estimated at QAR 45M/yr in different sectors. Demand is stable and is linked to Qatar s road map for a digital transformation. No local facilities currently exist for fiber optic cable assembly. The local market has experience in power cable assembly, allowing for the transfer of skills and technology. Land allocation (and potentially an empty facility) in a free zone and support for low-cost logistics, labor, and utilities could be provided. 2
