Their Royal Highnesses were also briefed on QF’s pivotal role in supporting Qatar’s transition toward a knowledge-based economy.
Established in 1995, Qatar Foundation serves as a key pillar in driving the nation’s economic diversification by shifting dependency away from oil and gas toward a sustainable, knowledge-driven future. Through Education City, the foundation invests heavily in high-tech fields including computer science, artificial intelligence, and energy research to build a highly skilled, globally competitive workforce. Additionally, Qatar Foundation operates specialized institutions like the Qatar Environment and Energy Research Institute to advance green initiatives in energy security, water management, and climate change, while simultaneously prioritizing community development through major cultural and social hubs.
