The challenge
The GCO leads Qatar's side of Web Summit Qatar, whose second edition ran from 23 to 26 February 2025 at the Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (QNA). According to the GCO's award entry, the film had to do more than sell tickets: it had to invite start-ups and innovators to consider Qatar 'as a place to live and thrive'.
The idea
The pre-event film uses visual effects and visually engaging transitions to tell a story of innovation and of the lifestyle Qatar offers, according to the entry. The GCO published it on YouTube as 'Qatar: Innovation & Opportunity Hub'. Hassan Khedr is credited as creative and director.
