The Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT), through its TASMU Innovation Lab, launched the Technology Radar Initiative as part of a series of workshops aimed at identifying, assessing, prioritizing, and adopting the latest emerging technologies in key sectors, in alignment with the Digital Agenda 2030 and the goals of Qatar National Vision 2030.

The initiative was inaugurated with a workshop dedicated to the healthcare sector, bringing together Qatar’s leaders and experts from the sector to explore emerging digital innovations that contribute to improving service quality, enhancing the efficiency of digital transformation in healthcare delivery, and guiding technology adoption decisions based on community needs.

This initiative is a strategic tool that enables government agencies to evaluate technologies for adoption, testing, or monitoring. Through this classification, the Technology Radar Initiative provides a clearer view of national priorities and enables government entities to direct their technology investments to achieve tangible performance improvements, enhance digital trust, and ensure the resilience of operational systems.

The inaugural workshop, titled “Technology Radar: Emerging Trends in Healthcare,” took place on September 4, 2025, at the Rosewood Doha Hotel, and witnessed participation from leaders and specialists in Qatar’s healthcare sector, including Hamad Medical Corporation, Sidra Medicine, and Weill Cornell Medicine.

The workshop provided an interactive platform to showcase the latest digital innovations expected to reshape the future of the healthcare sector, while also discussing the challenges and opportunities associated with adopting these technologies.

The workshop also opened with an interactive monitoring session to identify the most prominent emerging use cases and expand the scope of the innovation ecosystem in line with the priorities of the national healthcare system.

The Technology Radar Initiative, in collaboration with experts, specialists, and decision-makers in the healthcare sector, will categorize emerging technologies according to key themes, including patient-centered healthcare, operational agility, and digital trust.

This collaboration aims to provide healthcare leaders with clearer insights that will enable them to direct their investments according to national priorities and adopt digital solutions gradually and thoughtfully, further enhancing service development and contributing to improving healthcare outcomes in the long term.

Ms. Eman Al Kuwari, Director of the Digital Innovation Department at MCIT, said: “The launch of the Technology Radar Initiative represents a significant milestone towards transforming emerging technology trends into actionable strategies tailored to our national priorities. We begin with the healthcare sector as a starting point, given its essential role in society and its strong alignment with the Digital Agenda 2030.”

She further adds, “Through this initiative, we look forward to creating a collaborative platform that equips healthcare providers with the necessary tools to deliver world-class care, underpinned by innovation and digital excellence.”

The next phase of the workshop will include a rigorous validation and evaluation process, conducted in collaboration with a specialized committee of experts to ensure the alignment of emerging technologies with the needs of the healthcare sector.

The final results will be presented in the form of clear themes and priorities, providing decision-makers with practical insights that help guide investments and formulate appropriate policies, in addition to enhancing collaboration between healthcare providers, regulators, and innovators to address key healthcare challenges and improve system efficiency.

The launch of the Technology Radar Initiative represents MCIT’s commitment to collaborating with government entities for the purpose of leveraging digital solutions and harnessing them to serve the digital transformation process.

The Technology Radar Initiative provides a platform to access and utilize emerging technologies, which contributes to building a full digital landscape to support digital innovation and achieve tangible benefits, positively impacting the use of the latest technologies in various fields, in line with the Digital Agenda 2030 and the Qatar National Vision 2030.
