QNB Group, Lead Sponsor and strategic partner of Web Summit Qatar 2026, is reinforcing its role as a central force in Qatar’s digital transformation, positioning the country as a regional leader in financial technology in line with Qatar National Vision 2030.
Fatma al-Baker, Executive Vice President for Infrastructure Services at QNB Group, said digital transformation goes beyond technology adoption and requires a fundamental rethinking of banking’s role in economic growth and resilience.
“Digital transformation is not just about adopting technology but about reimagining banking as a catalyst for growth and resilience,” al-Baker said. “At QNB, we are focused on ensuring our systems can adapt, scale, and innovate in ways that empower individuals, businesses, and the wider financial ecosystem, driving both economic progress and national objectives.”
As the financial backbone of Qatar’s economy, QNB is modernising traditional banking through sustained investment in agile and resilient infrastructure. This includes redesigning customer journeys, embracing cloud technologies, optimising operations, and prioritising advanced digital platforms to deliver seamless, secure, and scalable services.
“The future of banking in Qatar depends on institutions that can balance stability with agility,” al-Baker added. “Through our Transformation Office and strategic partnerships, we are building a strong, human-centric digital foundation that supports the Qatar National Vision 2030 and a knowledge-based economy.”
Through its multi-year role as Diamond Sponsor and strategic partner of Web Summit Qatar, QNB is creating a platform for collaboration with global innovators, fintech firms, and startups. The engagement is helping build a dynamic financial ecosystem that accelerates innovation, strengthens partnerships, and supports broader economic development.
At Web Summit Qatar 2026, QNB will host a dedicated exhibition and thought leadership sessions, offering insights from its innovation and infrastructure teams. The sessions will highlight how QNB is leveraging technologies such as cloud platforms and artificial intelligence to deliver secure, human-centred banking experiences that support sustainable growth across the financial sector.
