QFZ signs MoU with Emerson to advance Qatar’s industrial automation capabilities
Qatar Free Zones Authority (QFZ) and Emerson have signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) to advance cooperation in industrial automation and technical services by establishing a regional operations centre in Qatar’s free zones.
QFZ CEO Sheikh Mohammed bin Hamad bin Faisal al-Thani and Emerson Global Sales Group president Judson Duncan signed the agreement on the sidelines of the Qatar Economic Forum (QEF): UNGA Special Edition 2026 in New York.
Plans for the proposed regional operations centre cover a range of specialised capabilities, including a flow-metre calibration and service hub with an in-house laboratory for testing and calibrating flow metres used across processing facilities in Qatar and the GCC. The centre would also feature a repair facility and rapid spare-parts service for field instrumentation, strengthening access to specialised technical support across the region.
Further capabilities include the assembly, integration, and testing of automation and safety systems, alongside a dedicated training center to support technical skills development and collaboration.
The MoU also supports wider ecosystem development through collaboration with Emerson partners, suppliers, research institutions and academia. These efforts will help reinforce industrial value chains, develop Qatari talent and expand access to Emerson’s expertise and solutions across Qatar and regional markets.
Sheikh Mohammed said, “Emerson is one of the world’s leading global industrial companies, and I am delighted to welcome them to Qatar’s Free Zones. This investment in Qatar will enable Emerson to take advantage of significant growth opportunities within the region. This builds upon the free zone’s industrial clusters, further bringing together global expertise, advanced technologies and specialised capabilities locally.
“This exciting partnership reflects the strength of the wider relationship between Qatar and the US, and is a real sign of trust in the ecosystem that we are building locally. This is a key milestone within Qatar’s economic diversification, re-enforcing our position as an attractive base for regional & international business”
Duncan said, “This agreement marks an important step in strengthening Emerson’s presence and capabilities in the region. Qatar’s ambition to advance its industrial and digital landscape, supported by QFZ’s integrated ecosystem and strategic connectivity, provides a strong platform for growth.
“We look forward to expanding access to Emerson’s automation technologies, services and expertise, while helping customers enhance reliability, efficiency and operational performance.”
Through strategic collaborations, QFZ continues to create pathways for industrial innovation, operational excellence and sustainable growth. These efforts reinforce QFZ’s value proposition for investors and its role in advancing Qatar’s globally competitive industrial ecosystem.
