Evidence snapshot for Doha
Doha hosts Qatar Science & Technology Park (QSTP), a free-trade zone within Qatar Foundation's Education City backed by over $800 million in investment, which houses more than 400 tenant companies from 39 countries across energy, environment, health sciences, and ICT sectors. QSTP runs accelerators including the WaterTech Accelerator (226 applications from 79 countries) and FemTech Accelerator (242 applications, 71% women-led). Beyond this, the evidence shows Doha as the location where Qatar's national digital accessibility and government ICT adoption programmes operate, though the practices do not quantify Doha-specific outcomes separately from national figures.
