Doha, Qatar: On the sidelines of Web Summit Qatar 2026, the National Planning Council (NPC) announced it will advance the adoption of AI technologies and enhance operational practices across the Council’s departments, as part of its enterprise-wide AI transformation plan.
The transformation will be anchored around three key priorities: scaling the NPC adoption of Microsoft 365 Copilot, enhancing operational efficiency within the Council’s departments through AI-powered tools and solutions, and cementing NPC’s position as an AI frontier organisation.
NPC’s Microsoft 365 Copilot adoption is already underway, with activities progressing across the Council to enable employees to streamline routine tasks, boost productivity, and generate insights more efficiently within familiar Microsoft 365 applications.
In parallel, the Council is identifying and prioritising opportunities to transform NPC departments through AI-driven technologies supported by Microsoft. Raed Ibrahim Al-Emadi, Assistant Secretary-General for National Development Planning and Policy at NPC, stated: “Our commitment to transforming the Council into an AI frontier organisation remains unwavering. This collaboration with Microsoft will propel NPC as a pioneer in scaling AI adoption to transform and modernise how we operate.”
