The award comes as the culmination of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry's ceaseless efforts to enhance food security, develop local industries, and increase self-reliance in many key sectors, especially in light of sudden economic crises.
Through this endeavour, the Ministry seeks achieving one of the main pillars of Qatar's vision of building a competitive and diversified economy capable of meeting the needs of society at present and in the future.
In this context, the Ministry launched a cross-media marketing campaign at the State level, in addition to holding community activities, and promotions in commercial centres. The Ministry highlighted the quality and competitiveness of locally-made products, to address consumer preference for international brands. The campaign also aims to improve export capabilities through expanding opportunities for Qatari factory owners, thus providing them with a wide manufacturing base and increased market access.
The interactive campaign activities covered all important sectors including food, beverages, medical materials, textiles, paper, prints, electrical materials, furniture, wood, plastics, rubber, petroleum, building materials, metals, machinery, and manufacturing industries.
It is worth noting that the Middle East and North Africa Stevie Awards are the world's premier business awards.
