At its core, the Digital Agenda 2030 is built upon six strategic pillars: Digital Infrastructure, Digital Government, Digital Technologies, Digital Innovation, Digital Economy, and Digital Society. These pillars serve as the guiding framework for Qatar's digital future and global digital competitiveness. Moreover, the agenda places special emphasis on empowering individuals and communities, seeking to enhance digital skills and integrate all segments of the Qatari society into the knowledge-based digital economy.

Anticipated outcomes from the effective implementation of the Digital Agenda's six pillars include enhancing the effectiveness of the digital economy and society and accelerating the pace of economic transformation and competitive efficiency. This is achieved through the adoption of innovative digital strategies that prioritize inclusivity and foster sustainable prosperity in the digital era. The 2030 Digital Agenda embodies an ambitious vision aimed at building a prosperous Qatari future through the comprehensive digital transformation of services.

With an implementation plan comprising 23 strategic programs, the Digital Agenda 2030 is ready to make a tangible impact across all sectors of the national economy. It is expected that the implementation of these programs will lead to a compound annual growth rate of the actual GDP of 7.8% and significantly boost the contribution of the ICT sector to the gross product, potentially reaching a rate of up to 3.5% in non-oil GDP.

Central to the 2030 Digital Agenda is the cultivation of dynamic, forward-thinking concepts translated into tangible actions on the ground. These collaborative efforts are necessary to realize the ambitious objectives outlined in the roadmap. Consequently, the Digital Agenda 2030 emerges as a bold initiative aiming to position the country as a pioneering hub in digital technology, thereby achieving substantial economic and social benefits.

This transformative journey promises significant economic gains and solidifies Qatar's status as a leader in digital technology on the global stage.
