Minister, manufacturers meet aims to boost industrial development
Tribune News Network Doha In a landmark move that underscores Qatar's unwavering commitment to industrial development and economic diversification, Minister of Commerce and Industry HE Sheikh Faisal bin Thani bin Faisal Al Thani convened a strategic roundtable with an influential group of Qatari manufacturers at the ministry's headquarters. The session, part of the ministry's proactive approach to strengthen public-private engagement, reaffirmed the government's resolve to support domestic industries, identify real-world challenges on the ground, and implement tangible solutions aimed at enhancing the performance, resilience, and global competitiveness of Qatar's manufacturing sector. The dialogue delved deep into current challenges facing factory owners and industrial investors, including regulatory bottlenecks, operational inefficiencies, infrastructure needs, and access to finance. A range of proposals was tabled, spanning modernisation of industrial policies, better service delivery, and the simplification of procedures related to permits, licencing, and land allocation. He emphasised the need for swift, collaborative action to create a more agile industrial ecosystem—one that is adaptable to market dynamics, encourages innovation, and empowers investors to scale up operations confidently. He reaffirmed the ministry's role as both a regulator and a facilitator, committed to aligning industrial initiatives with the broader goals of Qatar National Vision 2030. 'The national industrial sector is not only a cornerstone of Qatar's economic development but also a critical driver in building a self-reliant, knowledge-based economy,' Sheikh Faisal stated. 'By fostering synergy between policymakers and manufacturers, we are laying the groundwork for an industrial renaissance that will serve generations to come.' One of the most significant announcements from the meeting was the planned transition of operational management of the Small and Medium Industries Zone to Manateq, Qatar's premier economic zones developer. This handover is set to optimize the functionality of industrial zones, reduce bureaucratic overlap, and improve investor services. The minister clarified that while the Ministry will retain its strategic regulatory and oversight functions, Manateq will take on a more prominent role in managing day-to-day operations and delivering infrastructure solutions. This shift is in direct alignment with the directives of His Excellency the Prime Minister and key pillars of the Third National Development Strategy (NDS3), particularly those related to improving logistics, updating industrial legislation, and upgrading physical infrastructure. The meeting also served as a platform to introduce elements of the National Manufacturing Strategy, which is being refined to reflect emerging global trends such as digitalisation, green manufacturing, and circular economy principles. Manufacturers were encouraged to adopt sustainable practices, integrate advanced technologies such as automation and AI, and explore export-oriented growth models. Attendees expressed appreciation for the ministry's continued engagement, noting that direct communication channels with decision-makers provide invaluable opportunities to voice concerns, share feedback, and co-develop policy solutions. As Qatar navigates a new era of post-hydrocarbon economic development, today's meeting marks a pivotal moment in recalibrating its industrial agenda toward a future defined by innovation, sustainability, and resilience.
