Kingdee, a leading Chinese SaaS company, has launched its regional headquarters in Qatar as part of its expansion into the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. With over 7.4 million global customers, Kingdee aims to leverage Qatar as a bridgehead for growing its footprint in the region and supporting Qatar’s digital transformation in line with its Vision 2030.
The opening ceremony was attended by key stakeholders, including Robert Xu, Kingdee’s Chairman and CEO, who emphasized the company’s ability to offer enterprise digital solutions to Qatar and the regional market. The move has been supported by the Qatar Investment Authority (QIA), Invest Qatar, and the Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZ), underscoring Qatar’s strategic role as a technology and innovation hub.
Kingdee, founded in 1993, provides enterprise digitalization and cloud services and has successfully expanded its solutions to over 172 countries. The company’s offerings cover 42 languages and help businesses optimize their operations in areas such as financial management, supply chain optimization, and production operations. In December 2023, QIA announced a $200 million investment in Kingdee to further support its expansion efforts.
Qatar’s commitment to becoming a leader in digital innovation and technology is reflected in its support for Kingdee’s regional presence. The establishment of Kingdee’s headquarters in Qatar aligns with the country’s National Vision 2030 and the Third National Development Strategy, aimed at accelerating economic diversification and sustainable growth.
With the support of QFZ, Kingdee will leverage its expertise in digital transformation to drive growth in the MENA region and strengthen Qatar’s position as a global tech hub. The company aims to provide integrated, AI-driven solutions to local businesses and facilitate cross-border collaborations, especially within the Belt and Road Initiative.
