Doha: Ooredoo recently showcased how emerging technologies, such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence, can transform Qatar’s businesses with its third technology master class “Exploring New Technologies”.

Talking about the event, Yousuf Abdulla Al Kubaisi, Ooredoo Qatar COO, said: “We hope this master class opened Qatar’s entrepreneur’s eyes to the technology already available to take their business or idea to the next-level. 

In the growing Digital Economy, Qatar’s start-ups must harness innovations such as the Internet of Things and artificial intelligence to unlock new digital revenue streams, free up staff to focus on more creative problem solving, and to more quickly identify and predict customer trends.”

The “Exploring New Technologies” session was the latest in a series of master classes held in collaboration with Digital and Beyond, a digital incubator led by Ooredoo and the Qatar Business Incubation Center (QBIC). 

Aysha Al Mudahka, CEO, Qatar Business and Incubation Center, commented: “Adopting emerging technologies should not be done in isolation – start-ups and organisations should examine how emerging technologies can solve business problems, and fit into a wider digital transformation programme. Companies will also need to train and upskill their employees, in order to optimise how emerging technologies can augment their tasks”.
