Ohio drives a robust economic relationship with Qatar heavily centered on heavy industrial manufacturing, defense systems, and aviation technology. The state routinely registers over $117 million in annual merchandise exports to Qatar, shipping high-value commodities such as aircraft parts, motor vehicles, and technology systems. Major Ohio employers—including GE Aviation, Honeywell, and Baker Hughes—serve as critical bedrock suppliers, providing billions of dollars in commercial jet equipment and advanced technology to sustain Qatar's massive liquefied natural gas (LNG) infrastructure projects.
