Doha, Qatar: By constantly innovating and embracing new technology, Qatar is achieving the vision set out in the Digital Agenda 2030.
The country is revolutionising the technological landscape by driving growth, innovation, and empowerment across multiple sectors.
Ministry of Communications and Information technology (MCIT) highlighted in a post on its X platform, the three hyper trends that Qatar is benefiting in the journey towards achieving the goals of the Digital Agenda 2030. Digital transformation enabled through the Digital Agenda 2030 will unleash a spillover effect across all sectors of the economy.
From manufacturing, energy, tourism, logistics, financial services and education, it aims to generate a cumulative impact of approximately QR40bn and lead to the creation of 26,000 jobs in the ICT sector by 2030.
Qatar's journey to digital transformation aligns with the nation's broader vision to diversify its economy and establish itself as a knowledge-based economy. The three hyper trends that support digital transformation in Qatar include HyperConnectivity, HyperComputing and HyperAutomation, the post noted.
With understanding and smart application, HyperConnectivity can be used as influence so that citizens can create and share new ideas for world changing impact.
HyperComputing is unparalleled capacity powering smart cities and cloud computing. Processing and analysing the amount of data the world demands and generated at the speed it needs. Whereas, HyperAutomation is artificial intelligence and automation to support innovation and efficiency. Even in its infancy, machine learning, artificial intelligence, and large language models (LLMs) promise to help Qatar achieve more than ever before.
Qatar is embedding AI into its national agenda to drive technological sovereignty, economic diversification, and secure leadership in AI innovation. Key strategies include establishing regulatory frameworks, developing sovereign AI infrastructure, forming an AI economic cluster, and applying AI across government and key sectors.
The launch of Al Fanar Arabic artificial intelligence project was announced in the opening address at Qatar Economic Forum 2024.
The country has allocated a package of incentives worth QR9bn to support comprehensive digital transformation.
The project will primarily focus on collecting quality data in the Arabic language, contributing to enriching large linguistic models and preserving the Arab identity.
Harnessing HyperAutomation's unbound potential embarks Qatar on a journey towards a future where the possibilities are limitless.
HyperAutomation is responsible for exponentially increasing the amount of compute used in the largest AI training runs, doubling its power every 3.4 months.
To achieve the Digital Agenda 2030 vision and mission, Qatar has developed a collection of enabling projects grouped into six strategic objectives.
The post further stated these three cutting-edge technologies support the six strategic objectives of the Digital Agenda 2030 which include cutting edge digital infrastructure, booming digital economy, thriving digital innovation, seamless digital government, nurtured digital technologies and future leading digital society.
Digital Agenda 2030 paves the way for a bright, digital future.
Through the agenda, Qatar aims to become a hub of technological excellence, it added.
