Ooredoo yesterday said it would launch its first ever ‘Smart Future’ contest at the 2017 QITCOM event, to be held at the Qatar National Convention Centre next week.
The Smart Future contest has been designed by the company to encourage students of secondary school and above to visit the technology-based event and learn more about future of Qatar’s technology.
Ooredoo has also sent an open invitation to students to visit the state-of-the-art Ooredoo booth, to find out how to enter its Smart Future competition, which will give young people the opportunity to have their technology ideas developed.
Talking about the contest, Fatima Sultan Al Kuwari, Community and Public Relations Director, Ooredoo, said: “We’re encouraging all young people to come to QITCOM, see how fast our country is developing and then think about which technology or services they want to help shape the nation and Ooredoo for the better. Students will have time until April 1 to develop their ideas and best entries will be made by Ooredoo and showcased at QITCOM 2018.”
As Integrity Sponsors of QITCOM, Ooredoo will use its presence at the event to demonstrate some of the cutting-edge solutions that will change people’s lives in Qatar in the future. Demonstrations include 5G, Smart Stadiums services, Internet of Things solutions and more.
“This is an amazing opportunity for students to help Qatar’s communities and put their name on the map. We’re looking forward to receive entries,” she added.
Submitted ideas will be judged on innovation, design and/or uniqueness by a panel of expert of Ooredoo employees. Students interested in submitting their ideas should visit the Ooredoo booth at QITCOM and then send their proposals to Sponsorship@ooredoo.qa.
QITCOM is one of Qatar’s most important technology events, as it brings together leading technology organisations and top players from across Qatar and the region, showcasing the latest innovations and inviting businesses to take part in industry panels and discussions.
