Doha, Qatar: Qatar embarks on a significant course to implement innovative ecosystem and infrastructure towards transforming the country into a digital transformation said an expert.

Businesses in Qatar have been heavily invested in modern technology, reinforced by governments as early consumers of the technology. The development of non-oil sectors through investment in Artificial Intelligence (AI) technologies could strategically position the country as a regional hub for tech advancements.

“The country’s evident transformation has begun with an economic transformation driven by Liquified Natural Gas (LNG), Aviation, Tourism, and Sports and we believe Data and AI and Digital are the next frontier,” said Ali Nehme, Partner, Digital Services at PwC Middle East during an interview with The Peninsula.

He noted that the adoption of AI and data practices have an “incredible role” to play within the digital transformation of businesses across various sectors.

AI became a powerful and accessible tool last year and there is an immense focus and push from companies across the globe to create more citizen-relevant and tangible solutions that have the power to reinvent industries.
