We are not only prepared to assess where Qatar stands in terms of Digital Innovation, but we are also ready to envision the future and articulate where we should go. The key recommendations from the DIP reviews will give us a comprehensive understanding of the challenges and opportunities within the ecosystem and help us shape a future-focused, ICT-based, innovation environment." He emphasized that "by leveraging the insights gained from this project, we want to help build a sustainable, ICT-enabled economy which is aligned with Qatar National Vision 2030, the Third National Development Strategy 2024-2030, and the Digital Agenda 2030."
