Ibtechar to launch knowledge sharing series ‘Ibtechar Majlis’
Qatar-based innovation specialist Ibtechar is launching a new knowledge series, ‘Ibtechar Majlis’, aimed at advancing innovation and capacity building across Qatar’s public sector.
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.
“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,” said Nayef al-Ibrahim, Co-Founder and CEO of Ibtechar.
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.”
“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.”
