Good morning. Thank you for joining us for the first annual
IT Forum.
I don’t need to tell the people in this room that high quality
physical and information infrastructure is critical for
sustaining economic development. At ictQATAR, we intend
to make sure all residents have fair access to this
infrastructure. iPark is an example of the kind of programs
and projects we will launch to help achieve this goal.
Look around you and you will see that team members are IT
Managers. As we forge ahead, we will often be joined by
professionals from industry. We will always seek private
sector partnership and cooperation.
I am delighted to say that last week, His Highness, the Heir
Apparent issued a decree establishing the i-Gov Sponsor
Group. From the highest levels of government, this Group
will steer i-Gov’s initiatives and help raise awareness of the
good work we will do. I’m very proud that joining the Heir
Apparent in the Sponsor Group will be the Ministers of
Economy and Commerce, Finance, Civil Service and Housing
Affairs, Interior Affairs, and the Minister of Municipality
Affairs and Agriculture.
