As part of Qatar National Vision 2030, Qatar's ambition is to establish itself as a leading digital hub in the Middle East, a home to international digital players and an attractive destination for domestic and foreign investments in innovative digital services.

Qatar has placed the promotion of cloud computing at the heart of its transformative digital strategy. Cloud computing unlocks efficiency and productivity worldwide and is an opportunity for Qatar-based businesses to grow, for public and private entities to provide better services and, ultimately, for Qatar to become a fully digitalized country.

The Cloud Policy Framework, part of the going Communications Regulatory Authority’s Strategic Plan 2020-2024, supports the objectives of the Qatar National Vision 2030 as well as of the Qatar National Second Development Strategy.

Embracing the principles of Trust, Security and Transparency, the Cloud Policy Framework identifies policy and regulatory recommendations that are critical for the development of a robust cloud industry in Qatar. To meet the objectives of a cloud-friendly regulatory environment, joint efforts and a concerted approach are required from government entities.
