talabat launches talabat grow in Qatar in collaboration with Qatar Science & Technology
talabat, the leading everyday app in the MENA region, announced the launch of talabat grow in Qatar, in collaboration with Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP). The launch event brought together local media, restaurant partners and local entrepreneurs to introduce the programme and showcase how it will support restaurant growth across Qatar.
Through this invite-only initiative, talabat aims to onboard 180 high-potential, locally owned small businesses. Participants will receive hands-on support in performance optimisation, data-driven decision-making and the effective use of digital tools, alongside commercial support, subsidised commission rates and one-to-one guidance from talabat’s partner success teams. Delivered over 12 months, it begins with a two-week intensive session, followed by ongoing tailored support.
QSTP joins the programme as a technology innovation partner, aiming to connect local restaurants with startups in its community. Through this collaboration, QSTP hopes to explore whether innovations developed by these startups could potentially help restaurants address everyday challenges, reduce costs, run smoother and grow. Where relevant, promising innovations may be piloted with talabat grow restaurants.
