DOHA: The Center for Islamic Economics and Finance at Qatar Faculty of Islamic Studies (QFIS) a college of Hamad bin Khalifa University (HBKU) is hosting a public lecture titled ‘Entrepreneurship Crowdfunding and Islamic Finance’ today at its new building in Education City.

The lecture will be delivered by Dr Shehab Marzban Assistant Professor in Islamic Finance at QFIS and Co-founder of Shekra Crowdfunding.

Dr Marzban will draw a distinction between the work of conventional and Islamic banks and what they can offer to mobilise capital and promote inclusion through small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and startup businesses using innovative and desired asset-based and equity-based financial products.

Additionally the talk will highlight the use of crowdfunding platforms as a tool to reduce risks in SMEs.

Dr Marzban says: “Options such as venture capital funds angel investments and crowdfunding which all mainly target innovative high growth startups are linked to the concepts of Musharaka and Mudaraba and are close to the fundamental principles of Islamic finance through meeting a set of Shari’a guidelines.”
