Our Story
The Fusion story began in 2010, a pivotal moment that coincided with the early momentum of Qatar’s National Vision 2030. As the nation invested heavily in diversification, innovation, and world-class infrastructure, Fusion was born alongside this wave of transformation – initially offering corporate partnership and company formation support to the growing number of foreign firms drawn to Qatar’s rising prominence.
Over the years, that foundation has expanded into a far-reaching enterprise comprising eight subsidiaries and verticals that now extend across more than ten industries. Fusion Group Holding has, to date, facilitated more than 300 successful partnerships, marking it as a significant contributor to the Gulf state’s colourful economic narrative.
A decade and a half of continuous growth, diversification, and strategic partnerships.
