The Qatari government and Facebook’s parent company Meta signed a cooperation agreement today.
Qatar’s Ministry of Communications and Information Technology and Meta will work together to help small- and medium-sized businesses in Qatar with the “digital transformation.” To this end, Meta has launched a virtual hub in Qatar for such businesses with training webinars on digital marketing. Several Qatari sports-, technology- and finance-related entities are supporting the project, including the Qatar Development Bank, the official Qatar News Agency reported.
