Doha, Qatar: The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA) in collaboration with the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), announced the commencement of the Digital Innovation Profile (DIP) for the State of Qatar.

This initiative aims to accurately assess the digital innovation ecosystem; a move that will help shape key strategies and inform national policies that accelerate Qatar’s digital transformation. The DIP project is a comprehensive analysis of Qatar’s ecosystem capacity.

Crucially, the project will assess the country's maturity in innovation and entrepreneurship. CRA launched this initiative by engaging key stakeholders from the very beginning, ensuring that the DIP is thorough, accurate and is rooted in ground realities.

Stakeholder interviews have been already conducted, and in continuation of these efforts representatives from various sectors will participate in co-creation workshops being held today and tomorrow, August 27–28, 2024.

The workshops aim to identify strengths, address gaps, analyze needs, and develop detailed recommendations for advancing Qatar’s digital economy.
