MoCI Participates in Government Procurement Plan
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MOCI) has opened its pavilion in the Government Procurement Plan Forum 2026, currently being held at Doha Exhibition and Convention Center.
The forum highlights government entities’ procurement priorities across sectors and presents forecasts to help evaluate emerging business prospects and institutional needs.
Dr Mohammed Ahmed al-Sayed, Director of the National Product Competitiveness Support Department, said the ministry promotes national products by prioritising local content in government tenders, enforcing the mandatory list of national products, and encouraging reliance on Qatari products in development projects.
He also emphasised the necessity to apply international quality standards and combat harmful trade practices to ensure a fair and transparent business environment.
The MoCI's participation in the forum reflects its commitment to strengthen co-operation with the Ministry of Finance to support small and medium-sized enterprises’ participation in government tenders and foster a business environment conducive to innovation and industrial investment, in line with National Vision 2030, according to him.
The ministry’s pavilion at the forum showcases its efforts to enhance the competitiveness of national products, along with key electronic services in the industrial sector, such as the issuance of preliminary project approvals, industrial licenses, and customs exemptions.
The pavilion also highlights the single window platform and AI (artificial intelligence)-enhanced digital solutions streamlining procedures for investors and entrepreneurs.
The MoCI's participation in the Government Procurement Plan Forum 2026 forms part of its ongoing efforts to support national industrial sector, promote public–private partnerships, and encourage investment in national industries.
These efforts contribute to diversifying national economy and building an integrated, sustainable business ecosystem that supports national economic development.
