Qatar’s technology sector is experiencing rapid transformation, driven by significant investments in digital infrastructure and innovation. The government aims to create a digitally-driven economy contributing substantially to GDP by 2030. According to Jules Youssef, Managing Director at Great Place to Work Middle East, the tech ecosystem could boost annual GDP growth by 1-2%, aligning with Vision 2030.
Several Qatari companies have emerged as winners in the latest rankings of the best workplaces in Technology, Media, Advertising, and Marketing across the GCC. Notably, MagniPro Technology Services ranked 17th in the tech category, and UM Qatar secured 12th place in Media and Marketing. These accolades highlight Qatar’s growing appeal to talent and businesses, fostering creativity and productivity.
Youssef emphasized that fostering a positive workplace culture plays a pivotal role in attracting top talent and enhancing employee satisfaction. In fact, employee engagement saw a notable 5% increase compared to last year, reflecting the sector’s continued growth and focus on improving workplace environments.
As Qatar’s tech sector expands, innovations in AI and cloud solutions have enhanced operational efficiency and positioned the nation as a hub for foreign investment in the digital economy. This progress supports the goal of a more diversified and resilient economy by attracting businesses and boosting productivity across various sectors.
