The richness of their backgrounds helps them learn from one another and provides innovative solutions to real-world problems.”
The program’s curriculum is closely aligned with Qatar’s Third National Development Strategy, the final phase of Qatar National Vision 2030. This roadmap focuses on sustainable economic growth, workforce diversification, financial resilience, and sustainability.
