QRDI Innovation Coupons

Offers QRDI Innovation Coupons for Qatar-based organisations to buy targeted innovation services from approved providers and move projects forward quickly.

QRDI Innovation Coupons sit under the Qatar Research, Development and Innovation Council, the national body created to steer Qatar's research and innovation agenda. The route is part of QRDI's business innovation portfolio and is meant for organisations that need outside research help rather than a broad operating budget. The scheme provides grants of QAR 50,000 to QAR 500,000 on a rolling basis, with no match funding required. Applicants must be registered and operating in Qatar, and individuals are excluded. The coupons are designed to help pay QRDI-approved providers for specific R and D services, which keeps the support tied to a defined technical need. The best fit is a Qatar-based team that already knows the question it wants answered and the specialist it wants to work with. QRDI's wider platform includes piloting, technology development, and innovation partnerships, so applicants should frame the request as a concrete service with a clear deliverable and a reason it will move the project forward.
