A highly confidential meeting in Olbia, at the headquarters of the Gallura Province: President Todde met face-to-face with Qatari leaders .
According to rumors, the meeting was attended by the President of the Region, Alessandra Todde, her deputy, Giuseppe Meloni, the Chairman of the Board of Directors of Smeralda Holding, Franco Carraro, the CEO Mario Ferraro, Sheikh Faisal Bin Saoud Al Thani, Chief Operating Officer of the Qatar Investment Authority, and Mohammed Saif Al Sowaidi, CEO of the Qatar Investment Authority, as well as the CEO of the Qatar Foundation Endowment, a partner of the Mater Olbia Hospital, an organization headed by Emir Tamin bin Hamad Al Thani.
The meeting focused on Qatari investments in the north of the island, especially in tourism and healthcare . The properties, which belonged for decades to the Aga Khan (who passed away last February), have long been under the control of Smeralda Holding, a company controlled by Qatar's sovereign wealth fund.
At the end of the summit, Todde, speaking to the press, described it as an "institutional, knowledge-gathering meeting with important investors." "We discussed the investments that have already been made. We hope these investments will grow and generate value for Sardinia."
