Scale Ups

Scale Ups — Expression of Interest

Supports product-market-ready Qatar technology companies with access to campus scale-up resources.

Eligibility · QA

QSTP Scale Ups is a rolling support track operated by Qatar Science & Technology Park for established technology companies that have achieved product-market fit and consistent revenue traction and are ready to expand regionally or globally. Unlike QSTP's incubation and acceleration programs, Scale Ups provides no direct cash funding and takes no equity. Instead, participants gain access to QSTP's physical campus infrastructure in Education City — including laboratories and prototyping facilities — along with talent recruitment support through intern and hiring pipelines, business development networking, mentorship, and introductions to external funding partners.

Eligibility is restricted to for-profit companies; non-profits, universities, and research organizations are not eligible. Applicants must have a validated product with demonstrated market fit and must commit to conducting active research and development on the QSTP campus — physical presence is a firm requirement, not optional. Technology alignment with QSTP's strategic priorities (artificial intelligence infrastructure, advanced hardware, and novel materials among others) is expected.

Applications are submitted via an online Expression of Interest form on a rolling basis, with no fixed deadline or cohort cycle. The program is most relevant for scale-stage tech ventures that need physical infrastructure, regional market access, and investor introductions rather than early capital. QSTP's position within Qatar Foundation's Education City gives Scale Ups participants proximity to Qatar University, Texas A&M at Qatar, Carnegie Mellon Qatar, and other anchor institutions, which is particularly valuable for companies with talent hiring or R&D partnership needs in the Gulf region.
