MoCI recognises companies supporting Qatari Products 2023 campaign and participants in '1000 Opportunities' platform

Contracts worth more than QR1.7bn had been signed until last November through co-operation with eight international companies and efforts are underway to enhance the success of this initiative and support the private sector, according to a top official of the Ministry of Commerce and Industry (MoCI).
This was disclosed by Saleh bin Majed al-Khulaifi, Assistant Undersecretary for Industrial Affairs and Business Development at the MoCI at a ceremony to recognise companies that have supported the Qatari Products 2023 campaign, along with entities participating in the “1000 Opportunities” platform.
The event, which took place at the ministry's headquarters in Lusail, underscores its commitment to bolstering the private sector and encouraging its active involvement in advancing the country's efforts to support and promote Qatari products. This initiative also aims to enhance the productivity of national industries across various fields.
"The campaign to support the Qatari product, recently launched in co-operation with the largest retail outlets in the country, reflects the ministry’s belief in the pivotal role of the Qatari product in achieving self-sufficiency in Qatar. This, in turn, enhances the ability of the national economy to face various regional and global challenges that could impact local markets," he said.
Highlighting that the MoCI is developing action plans to explore ways of expanding support for the national product across various sectors; he said the priority given to Qatari products in pharmaceutical factories has been increased from the current 10% to 30%.
The “1000 Opportunities” platform serves as an important tool enabling local investors to explore the key investment opportunities and projects presented by leading companies across diverse economic sectors in the country.
The MoCI recently launched a campaign to support the Qatari product, under the slogan “Together to Support National Products.” Many large retail outlets across the country participate in this initiative by displaying Qatari products and showcasing aligned posters and banners in the sections that contain these products.
Various local delivery service companies contribute to this effort by dedicating a distinct category within their applications to introduce customers to Qatari products.
