Qatar medical simulation startup iQtech closes first funding round

iQtech LLC, a Qatar-based startup that builds medical simulation and cross-reality technologies, has closed its first investment round. The company raised money from European assessment technology company Selexi and deep-tech partner Yuniro.

The funding is a major step for iQtech, which was founded in 2025. The startup is now moving from its early founding phase into structured growth mode.

The money will go to

iQtech will use the investment to develop EsculapioVR, its main product. The platform combines virtual reality simulations with AI-powered performance reviews to improve medical training.

The company also plans to:

• Strengthen its technical infrastructure
• Speed up platform development
• Expand across Qatar and the wider MENA region

Why does it matter?

Medical training has traditionally relied on textbooks, lectures, and limited hands-on practice. iQtech's approach lets healthcare professionals practice procedures in virtual environments without risk to real patients.

The AI component analyzes how trainees perform and gives them specific feedback. This could help medical schools and hospitals train staff more effectively and measure their progress more precisely.

The context

iQtech operates from Doha within the Qatar Science & Technology Park ecosystem. The company sits at the crossroads of healthcare technology and education technology.

The startup isn't just focused on medical training. It also wants to create high-quality simulations for civil and military training programs. This broader approach could help the company reach more customers and markets as it grows.
