Minister of Transport and Communications HE Jassim bin Saif Ahmed al Sulaiti on Sunday inaugurated “TASMU Innovation Lab”, the pioneering initiative that supports the “TASMU” Smart Qatar Programme.
The lab is located at the Ministry of Transport and Communications (MoTC).
Set out to raise the profile of Qatar as a technology innovation hub, the TASMU Innovation Lab will create an open and inclusive environment that enables access, exploration and ideation to develop tangible outcomes in focused areas on emerging technologies.
The lab leverages Qatar’s growing research and development ecosystem and acts as an orchestrator between government entities, researchers and technology partners to develop and implement smart solutions across TASMU’s five priority sectors.
“Qatar is leading the process of digital transformation and achieving sustainable development in all sectors and in all pillars — economic, human, social and environmental. There is no doubt that catalysing the information and communication technology (ICT) ecosystem in Qatar and achieving the maximum benefit from the potential provided by advanced technology are the key pillars of this sustainable development,” Sulaiti said.
“We are continuing our efforts to transform Qatar into a smart country through the principal initiatives of TASMU such as the innovation lab, in which we are supported by a collaborative and thriving ICT ecosystem. We are constantly working to attract the world’s leading technology companies, develop local champions and support startups, as well as advancing our technological capabilities that will enable us to innovate and develop more smart solutions. We are fully aware of the technological development trends and today we hold a very good position that will enable us to boost the path of digital transformation and support our national economy.”
Reem AlaMansoori, Assistant Undersecretary of Digital Society Development of Ministry of Transport and Communications, said: “The innovation lab is one of the key initiatives of the “TASMU” Smart Qatar Programme. As a platform to embrace creative research in the field of modern technologies, the Lab will be a significant driving force for more technological innovations that will lead Qatar towards a prosperous future by accelerating the pace of developing ideas and turning them into a tangible reality while providing necessary advanced knowledge to catalyse the entire process of innovation.”
Mansoori added: “Our primary mission is to enhance the position of Qatar as a centre for technological innovation, and we are sure that achieving it will benefit all citizens, residents and visitors to the country.”
