The round includes backing from European assessment technology company Selexi and deep-tech collaborator Yuniro. Financial terms of the investment were not disclosed.
Founded in 2025, iQtech develops advanced medical simulation systems designed to improve training outcomes through immersive technologies. The new funding will support the development of EsculapioVR, the company’s flagship platform that combines virtual reality simulations with artificial intelligence-based performance assessment.
The platform enables medical professionals to train in high-fidelity simulated environments while receiving automated feedback and evaluation from AI systems. The company says this approach can enhance skills development while reducing the costs and limitations associated with traditional clinical training environments.
Operating from Qatar Science & Technology Park in Doha, iQtech sits at the intersection of healthtech and education technology. Its solutions are designed to support medical education institutions as well as professional training programmes across healthcare, civil safety and military sectors.
With the new capital, the company plans to strengthen its technical infrastructure, accelerate development of the EsculapioVR platform and expand deployments across Qatar and the wider MENA region.
Why iQtech First Funding Matters to MENA
Immersive simulation technologies allow medical professionals to train repeatedly in risk-free environments, a capability increasingly important for fast-growing healthcare systems across the Gulf.
Countries such as Qatar, the United Arab Emirates, and Saudi Arabia are expanding their healthcare infrastructure and digital health innovation as part of broader economic diversification strategies.
Medical schools and hospitals often face shortages of training resources and clinical exposure opportunities. XR platforms could help scale education capacity without requiring additional physical infrastructure.
Startups like iQtech highlight how the MENA’s innovation ecosystems, particularly hubs such as the Qatar Science & Technology Park, are supporting emerging deep-tech ventures that combine AI, simulation, and professional training.
