The Circle

Presentation

le-cerce-1 Qadran, the Franco-Qatari economic circle, is an association under French law (loi 1901) created in 2015 on the initiative of the Qatari business community in France. At the crossroads of a think tank and a business association, this “do-tank” aims at reinforcing dialogue and synergies between French and Qatari business communities. Qadran’s roadmap can be defined as per three main missions:  

  • Fostering a greater knowledge and understanding of France and Qatar’s economic and business interests and of the bilateral strategic partnership, through the regular organization of content-rich events (webinars, roundtables, annual study, op-eds…)
  • Encouraging business synergies and the development of bilateral trade and investments between the two economic ecosystems through business delegations to Qatar or France and through high-level encounters between Qadran members and proeminent French and Qatari business and institutional personalities.
  • Bringing visibility to the actions of our members and the innovative projects they develop in Qatar or in France through proactive public relations initiatives and events.

 

QADRAN'S PRESIDENT

“I would like to extend my heartfelt thanks to the founding members for the trust they have placed in me by appointing me as the director of Qadran. In an international context marked by profound geopolitical upheavals, Qadran’s mission—to foster dialogue, synergies, and economic partnerships between France and Qatar—is more relevant than ever.
After more than ten years of existence, Qadran has established itself as a leading player in Franco-Qatari economic dialogue. I am fully committed to continuing this work to strengthen this strategic partnership, founded on cooperation, trust, and dialogue between the business communities of both countries. This continuity also requires the necessary perspective to guide and support the strategic challenges associated with Qatar’s rise on the international stage.” Laurent de Camas, Managing Director at beIN SPORTS France
