Qatar Insurance Group has been recognised at the Google Cloud Summit Doha 2025 for driving innovation in the financial industry, marking a significant milestone in its strategic journey to revolutionise insurance through advanced technologies and global partnerships.

The group’s recognition highlighted its bold adoption of cloud-native technologies and AI-driven solutions, as well as its role as a thought leader shaping the future of the industry. Notably, Qatar Insurance Group organised and hosted the annual fourth edition of the Mena Insurtech Summit and the inaugural Mena Fintech Summit earlier this year in Doha, bringing together global experts, regulators, investors and startups to accelerate innovation, regulation, and investment in digital insurance and financial services.

During the Google Cloud Summit 2025, QIC Group CEO Salem al-Mannai held high-level meetings with senior Google Cloud executives, including Anthony Cirot, vice-president, EMEA South; Ghassan Kosta, regional general manager; and Basel Haddadin, regional sales manager.

The discussions focused on ongoing digital transformation projects and expanding collaborative opportunities in areas such as AI-powered customer experience, real-time data analytics, operational automation, and next-generation cloud security.

Al-Mannai said: “At Qatar Insurance Group, we are reimagining insurance for the digital age by embedding advanced cloud infrastructure, AI, and data intelligence into every layer of our business.

“Our partnership with Google Cloud is a cornerstone of this journey, enabling us to deliver secure, scalable, and customer-centric solutions. This recognition at the Google Cloud Summit affirms our strategic commitment not only to digital excellence, but to leading the transformation of the financial sector across our region.”

He also said, “Initiatives like the Google Cloud Summit are necessary platforms for open collaboration where ideas, capital, and technology come together to accelerate meaningful change. We are proud to contribute to these conversations and to help shape a resilient, digital-first future for insurance and finance in the Mena region.”

The group’s participation in the Google Cloud Summit reinforced its position as a regional innovation leader, committed to evolving the insurance model through bold technological investments and cross-sector collaboration.

As the industry continues to face new challenges and opportunities, Qatar Insurance Group remains focused on building a smarter, more agile, and future-ready financial ecosystem, both within Qatar and beyond.

“What we are accomplishing today through digital transformation and investment in innovation reflects our deep belief in Qatar National Vision 2030, which places knowledge and technology-based economic diversification at its core.

“The vision encourages impactful partnerships between the public and private sectors, and at Qatar Insurance Group, we are committed to being a key pillar in this comprehensive national transformation,” al-Mannai added.
