Upcoming ‘Ibtechar Majlis’ To Spotlight Innovation in Qatar’s Public Sector
Ibtechar is set to launch a new panel discussion series, ‘Ibtechar Majlis’, aimed at advancing innovation and capacity building across Qatar’s public sector, according to the company’s CEO and co-founder, Nayef al-Ibrahim.
The initiative will debut on October 8 at the Sharq Village & Spa, Al-Dasha Ballroom, with the inaugural session titled ‘Imagining a Public Innovation Lab for Qatar’, noted al-Ibrahim, saying the panel discussion will focus on the transformative potential of Public Innovation Labs (PILs).
The panel of experts comprises Eman al-Kuwari, director of Digital Innovation at the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology (MCIT); Dr Georgios Dimitropoulos, professor and associate dean for Research at the College of Law, Hamad Bin Khalifa University (HBKU); Hissa al-Tamimi, director of Government Innovation at the Civil Service and Government Development Bureau; and Nejoud M al-Jehani, executive director of Strategy & Programmes at the Qatar Research, Development and Innovation (QRDI) Council.
The majlis series will convene leaders, experts, and policymakers from government, academia, and industry to exchange ideas, share best practices, and co-create solutions that support sustainable transformation, al-Ibrahim pointed out.
“The launch of Ibtechar Majlis is aligned with the Qatar National Vision 2030. Over the years, our discussions with experts and key stakeholders have underscored the importance of establishing a dedicated platform for meaningful dialogue, knowledge exchange, and collaborative action,” al-Ibrahim told Gulf Times in a statement.
He explained: “In Qatari culture, the majlis has long been a space where leaders, decision-makers, and members of the community come together to exchange ideas and make collective decisions. Ibtechar Majlis embodies this same spirit—bringing it into the realm of innovation as a forum to share insights and co-create solutions that deliver tangible and lasting impact.”
He further said the inaugural session will highlight PILs, government-led spaces designed to test new ideas, foster community participation, and deliver smarter and more agile public services.
“Through this platform, we look forward to engaging distinguished experts and partners to exchange perspectives, address challenges, and collaboratively develop solutions that contribute to Qatar’s ongoing journey of innovation and development.”
