Financial Technology (FinTech) firms across the globe
are witnessing a surge in funding, new entrepreneurial
talent, and policy makers’ attention.
The historically hydrocarbon-driven economies in the Gulf region
are focusing on FinTech as part of their ongoing
economic diversification. Qatar is one of the leading
Gulf economies at the forefront of this transition.
In line with the Qatar National Vision (QNV) 2030 and the
implementation of the Second National Development
Strategy (2018-2022), Qatar’s goal is to create a diverse
knowledge economy that reduces its dependence
on hydrocarbons.
