Doha: As Qatar staged the United Nations Second World Summit for Social Development 2025, Qatar Foundation hosted a series of sessions at the global forum – aimed at fostering dialogue on social progress, strengthening partnerships, and promoting inclusive policymaking to ensure equitable opportunities for all.

The three-day summit at Qatar National Convention Centre took place 30 years after its landmark first edition in Copenhagen – the year in which Qatar Foundation (QF) itself was established – and brought together the international community to renew commitment to social progress amid growing inequalities, demographic shifts, and rapid technological transformation.
