Set on the waterfront in the heart of Ras Bufontas Free Zone in Doha, Qatar, the trade hub's Business Innovation Park has a flexible design that suits small startups and large corporations. The Qatar Free Zones Authority broke ground on the design-build project in 2016, overcoming material shortages and an international blockade. The Ras Bufontas site (see pg. 82) covers four square kilometers and sits adjacent to Hamad International Airport. Pedestrian bridges connect the Business Innovation Park's four wings, which surround an internal courtyard. Two of the wings are fully fitted out, while each of the remaining two was built with only the shell and core to meet future needs. The courtyard aims to create an internal oasis where authority employees based at Ras Bufontas can collaborate and visiting investors can work.
