Qtel invests in Qatar Science and Technology Park

Qtel Group and Qatar Science and Technology Park (QSTP) have announced a long term collaboration to create a mobile innovation ecosystem for the Middle East and North Africa region. This association combines Qtel Group’s position and regional footprint in 17 markets, with the facilities and services for mobile technology that QSTP provides.

With a shared vision to create a bigger mobile industry for the region, the partnership offers new opportunities for the regional developers’ community to come together, and to establish links with their peers outside the region.

It also aims to develop relevant and localised mobile innovations in several areas, such as healthcare, education, banking and other vertical industries. Furthermore, the collaboration will also attract new talent, businesses, skills, and technologies into Qatar.

The Qtel and QSTP collaboration is positioning itself to boost the industry in the region by promoting the development of new mobile applications to drive consumer uptake of more advanced mobile services and local mobile content in the future.
