Message from H.E. the Minister

The State of Qatar is embracing new horizons, striving to achieve transformative leaps in its developmental journey. The country is undergoing a qualitative shift toward a promising future, driven by comprehensive and accelerated transformation, and guided by the insightful vision and wise directives of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Amir of the State of Qatar, to build a knowledge-based digital society.

The Third National Development Strategy 2024–2030, launched by H.E. Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani, Prime Minister and Minister of Foreign Affairs, serves as a compass for our efforts toward comprehensive national development across various dimensions: human, economic, social, and environmental. At the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, we work to achieve holistic development with a focus on community well-being, improving the quality of life, and enhancing economic growth and diversification.

At the beginning of 2024, we launched the Digital Agenda 2030, a pivotal component of our efforts. It provides a comprehensive framework for digital transformation and serves as a strategic umbrella for our vision and objectives. The Digital Agenda 2030 aims to accelerate the digital transformation journey by developing an advanced digital environment that leverages the latest innovative technologies. It seeks to bolster the digital economy as a cornerstone for achieving economic diversification and sustainability by fostering innovation, increasing business efficiency, and creating future-ready job opportunities. This contributes to building a resilient, diverse, and sustainable economy.

The Digital Agenda 2030 enhances the quality of government services and develops government projects while improving efficiency to meet the needs of both individuals and businesses. Additionally, it aims to drive the digital economy forward by fostering digital innovation and investing in smart infrastructure, which strengthens the country’s competitiveness regionally and globally. It also focuses on empowering small and medium enterprises (SMEs) and expanding the horizons of the digital economy to achieve sustainable development through creating new job opportunities and supporting pioneering technological initiatives.

Recognizing the critical importance of human capital in driving digital innovation, our priorities center on developing the skills and competencies of the national workforce in digital fields. This is achieved through comprehensive empowerment and training programs, creating sustainable opportunities for continuous learning. Through these efforts, we aim to build an environment that fosters creativity and entrepreneurship, attracts and nurtures talent, and enhances our ability to effectively address future challenges.
Our approach is comprehensive, we work closely with stakeholders from both the public and private sectors to build an integrated and sustainable digital ecosystem. We also support innovation and entrepreneurship to establish Qatar as a regional and global hub for communications and information technology.
