The Investment Promotion Agency Qatar (Invest Qatar), Ardian, a world-leading private investment house, and Silian Partners, a unique strategic and operational value creation firm specialised in the global semiconductor industry that has formed a strategic partnership with Ardian to launch Ardian Semiconductor, a pioneering semiconductor private equity platform, have today announced a partnership to collaborate on AI and semiconductors. This initiative will contribute to drive digital innovation and to develop strategic technologies in Qatar.

Invest Qatar, Ardian and Silian Partners will work together to attract companies in the AI and semiconductor technology ecosystems to explore opportunities and establish operations in Qatar. In line with these efforts, Silian Partners will establish an office in Qatar to bring significant semiconductor industry capabilities to the country.
