Qatar Tourism, in partnership with GIMS, has announced that the inaugural event will host 30 esteemed automotive brands. This marks the first time that GIMS will be held outside of its home country, and it reflects Qatar’s increasing appeal as an international event destination. The list of exhibitors, which will feature a range of exotic cars, will be announced on GIMS’ social media channels in the coming weeks.

Visitors to GIMS Qatar can expect to witness ten exclusive product premieres, providing a unique opportunity to experience the latest innovations in the automotive industry. In addition to the state-of-the-art Doha Exhibition and Convention Center (DECC), the event will be hosted across four other venues, offering a diverse and immersive festival experience.

Berthold Trenkel, Chief Operating Officer at Qatar Tourism, expressed excitement about hosting GIMS Qatar, stating that Qatar’s exceptional hotels, captivating landmarks, and strong event organization capabilities make it the perfect location for the first-ever GIMS event outside of Switzerland.

The timing of GIMS Qatar coincides with the 2023 Qatar Grand Prix, promising an adrenaline-filled week for all motor enthusiasts. The full program for GIMS Qatar will include a wide range of activities, such as a car design forum showcasing the future of automotive design, off-road adventure experiences, and a gallery featuring classic automobiles.

Qatar, with its strategic central location, world-class facilities, and progressive tourism policies, is quickly becoming a preferred destination for global events. Sandro Mesquita, CEO of GIMS, expressed optimism about GIMS Qatar, highlighting its role in bridging the gap between the thriving automotive industries in the East and West and establishing itself as the premier motor show for the Middle East.

Looking ahead, GIMS is already accepting exhibitor registrations for its 100th-anniversary show in Geneva in February 2024. The milestone event will celebrate automotive innovation both past and future under the tagline ‘Auto. Future. Now.’
