ICT and Qatar

In the past twenty years, Qatar has progressed rapidly to become a global example of social and economic development predicated on a knowledge-based economy. From mega infrastructure projects to social development indices, today Qatar boasts incredible opportunities for businesses looking to take advantage of a fast growing and demanding landscape. In particular:

  • Qatar was the world’s fastest growing economy during 2008-12
  • Real GDP growth is forecasted at 6.5% in 2013 and 6.8% in 2014
  • Qatar plans to invest over USD140 billion over the next five years in transport infrastructure to transform Qatar
  • ICT contribution towards the national GDP increased 33% between 2008 and 2012


ICT is not just reshaping business practices in Qatar but also the lives of the country’s citizens. As a growing nation, Qatar boasts impressive ICT statistics:

  • Ranked 23rd globally in the World Economic Forum’s Network Readiness Index
  • Highest ranking Arab nation in the International Telecommunications Union’s 2012 ICT Development Index
  • Ranked 9th globally on the E-participation index and 27th globally on the Online Service Index within the United Nations’ 2012 E-Government Survey
