Taqat Trading and Business Solutions

What Taqat Trading and Business Solutions does

Taqat Trading and Business Solutions is a Doha-headquartered private holding company that operates across 12 business fields through three wholly-owned subsidiaries (Avrasya International for Balkans and Africa trade, Tawridat for supply chain and procurement, and Afriqat for African investment management), eight project service lines (including Taqat for Technology, Pearl Pixels marketing agency, OKSOUQ e-commerce marketplace, and several real estate, facility management, HR, and customer service lines), and four humanitarian programs (Emdad, Tayf, Edamah, and Relief Center). The company serves entrepreneurs, government organizations, NGOs, and humanitarian aid organizations, with explicit alignment to Qatar National Vision 2030.

The technology stack combines software development, automation, and artificial intelligence capabilities delivered through Taqat for Technology, with notable products including Emdad Express, an AI-powered humanitarian aid procurement platform featuring a chatbot and automated responses, and the Relief Center, which uses AI-driven analysis and early-warning systems for crisis monitoring. The company also implements Odoo ERP systems, uses Microsoft Azure AD for single sign-on, and maintains seven ISO certifications spanning quality, environmental, occupational health and safety, information security, incident management, risk management, and whistleblowing domains.

Taqat's business model combines B2B direct sales of services and projects (digital transformation, supply chain, marketing, real estate, HR, facility management) with B2C commerce through the OKSOUQ marketplace, and humanitarian-sector contracts through partnerships with organizations such as Qatar Charity Foundation. Revenue, pricing, and contract values are not publicly disclosed, and the company has not raised disclosed external funding rounds. The geographic footprint extends from Qatar to 26 countries across the Balkans and Africa via Avrasya, deeper African markets via Afriqat, and selected Southeast Asian markets, making Taqat a diversified rather than focused operator.
