The Ministry of Transport and Communications has finalised the assessment and arbitration process for the Qatar IT Business Awards 2016 nominations.
The results and winners will be unveiled by the end of this month at a special event.
“The awards reflect the ministry’s commitment to honouring businesses that have added significant value to the Qatari ICT market. The aim is to recognise not only businesses’ unremitting efforts to attract local promising talent, but also the local accomplishments, in addition to the key objective of supporting innovation in that field,” the ministry said in a statement.
The awards will be sponsored by Qatar Development Bank, Vodafone Qatar, Qatar Railways Company (Qatar Rail) and Microsoft Qatar.
The ministry has dedicated all awards categories to local Qatari businesses as well as one to honour the best IT adopter in the SME sector as a manifestation of its commitment
to back the vital industry.
The categories are Service Provider of the Year (Hardware), Cloud Service Provider of the Year, Service Provider of the Year (Software), Tech Startup of the Year, Best Mobile Application of the Year, Best IT Adoption in SME Sector and Smart Solution of the Year.
“The ministry always supported and encouraged entrepreneurs in the ICT sector, as well as invigorating and enabling the breakthrough innovations that reflect positively on all sections and segments of the society,” said Reem al-Mansoori, assistant undersecretary for digital society development at the ministry.
Al-Mansoori stressed that the awards come as part of the ministry’s efforts to provide the incentives necessary to develop and reinforce the digital industry, raise awareness of the importance of the ultimate and safe usage of ICT, and sharpen the competitiveness of Qatari ICT products by further promoting the quality and performance standards.
