    The aim of our forum is to promote Qatar’s roles, and highlight the opportunities it offers through 3 main messages.

    1) Qatar is emerging as political, Economic and cultural center of the Middle East, preserving the better parts of Arab tradition while racing toward the future’s knowledge-based world: because of its openness to Western technology & education, its mediations in international disputes (Doha Round); its international sporting events, e.g. , World Cup 2022; and its commitment to become a knowledge-based economy.

    2) Qatar has a plan: Qatar Vision 2030 will receive unprecedented support from oil and gas wealth as it pursues its ambitions of improving the quality of life for everyone, helping create social institutions that are just & kind, protecting the environment while transforming Qatar into a knowledge-based economy.

    3) Qatar has progress to report on investing on the plan with its commitment to education (education city), intellectual freedom; expanded visibility on the world’s media stage (e.g. Stars of Science, Asian games World Cup 2022); commitment to healthcare (Sidra); commitment to entrepreneurship (Enterprise Qatar).

    Howard Schultz, Chairman President and CEO, of Starbucks Speech at the 102nd NRF Conference – 2013

    Howard Schultz, Chairman President and CEO, of Starbucks Speech at the 102nd NRF Conference – 2013

    It all started with a cup of coffee.

    Howard Schultz, chairman, president and chief executive officer of Starbucks Coffee Company, first walked into Starbucks in Seattle’s Pike Place Market in 1981. Howard was drawn into conversation with these connoisseurs who took great care in not only finding and roasting the highest quality coffee, but also sharing their passion with others. Drawn to Seattle and its extraordinary coffee culture, Howard moved from his native New York and joined Starbucks in 1982 as director of operations and marketing when Starbucks had four stores.

    In 1983, Howard traveled to Italy and was captivated by Italian coffee bars and the romance of the coffee experience. He had a vision to bring the Italian coffeehouse tradition back to Seattle, creating a third place between work and home. In order to pursue this dream, Howard left Starbucks to start his own coffee company called Il Giornale and returned in August 1987 to purchase Starbucks with the help of local investors. Howard went on to create two landmark programs for Starbucks partners (employees): comprehensive health coverage for part-time partners and equity in the company in the form of stock options.

    From that foundation, Starbucks has grown to more than 16,000 stores in neighborhoods around the world. What remains the same from that first cup of coffee: a connection, a conversation, and a sense of community.
