Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP) runs Incubate for local and international science and technology startups with a prototype or MVP. It starts with a four-week Sprint in Doha, with accommodation and workspace provided, followed for selected teams by eight weeks of incubation. QSTP takes 1.5% equity, on a deferred SAFE-style basis, from startups entering incubation. Applications are rolling; the next deadline is 1 March 2027 for the May cohort.
