Qatars Ministry of Finance, in collaboration with the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Qatar Development Bank and Qatar Chamber, recently hosted the second edition of the Government Procurement Plan Forum.
The event highlights Qatar's commitment to fostering a robust and diversified economy by strengthening the private sector's role as a key driver of growth and innovation. Furthermore, the forum serves as a platform for presenting Qatar's government procurement strategy for 2025, with a focus on enhancing transparency, collaboration and business opportunities for local companies.
The initiative is aligned with Qatar's broader vision to create a competitive, dynamic environment that supports entrepreneurship, attracts investment and empowers businesses to thrive. As part of the agenda, the government outlined plans to release 3,303 tenders across 21 economic sectors in 2025.
