Doha, Qatar: The Ministry of Finance has announced the launch of the official website for the Center for Fourth Industrial Revolution, which is affiliated with the World Economic Forum in the State of Qatar. This represents a strategic step towards enhancing technological innovation in the country.

The website serves as a strategic platform aimed at fostering collaboration between the public and private sectors, to maximise the technological benefits for society while minimising the risks associated with the Fourth Industrial Revolution technologies.

The center will use this platform to publish research and projects carried out in collaboration with both governmental and private entities.

Additionally, the website will contribute to the formulation and development of local and national strategies aligned with the National Development Strategy. It provides consultations to develop flexible policies and implement innovative projects with a tangible impact on the economy and society.

It is worth noting that the establishment of the center follows the agreement signed between the State of Qatar, represented by the Ministry of Finance, and the World Economic Forum in October 2023. The World Economic Forum is an independent, non-profit organization, a leader in policy and governance for emerging technologies.

The center’s main focus is to harness fourth industrial revolution technologies such as Artificial Intelligence and Internet of Things for sustainable development and economic competitiveness, in line with Qatar’s national priorities and Vision 2030.
