Evidence snapshot for Qatar
Qatar has made significant investments in digital accessibility and inclusion across government and society. Mada Center's e-Accessibility Programme raised government websites to a 92% accessibility score by 2019 across 42 agencies, earning Qatar 1st place on the 2020 UN DARE Index, while the Better Connections Program installed 1,927 ICT facilities in migrant worker housing and distributed 20,000+ refurbished computers to reach roughly 1.5 million workers. On innovation and research infrastructure, Qatar Science & Technology Park hosts over 400 companies from 39 countries and runs accelerators attracting hundreds of international applicants, with 71% of FemTech Accelerator applicants women-led. Qatar's government has begun piloting AI adoption, with phase one of the Copilot programme reporting 62% adoption and 1.7 million tasks across nine entities, though the claimed productivity savings lack published methodology.
