Evidence snapshot for Doha

Doha has hosted two major digital-economy initiatives: Qatar Science & Technology Park, a free-trade zone backed by $800 million in investment that hosts 400+ companies from 39 countries and runs corporate-backed accelerators (the WaterTech Accelerator received 226 applications and the FemTech Accelerator 242 applications, 71% women-led), and Better Connections Program, which installed 1,927 computer/Wi-Fi facilities in migrant worker housing and distributed 20,000+ refurbished computers to reach approximately 1.5 million beneficiaries. These initiatives demonstrate Doha's efforts to expand digital access and entrepreneurship, though the evidence on jobs created, revenue generated, or company exits from the science park remains less mature than peer institutions, and the Better Connections Program addresses digital skills rather than underlying migrant labour-rights protections.
