Doha Institute for Graduate Studies organised a workshop on innovation as part of ongoing cooperation with the institute’s Executive Education Excellence Center, Bedaya (Center for Entrepreneurship and Career Development), and Injaz Qatar.
The workshop is part of the institute’s summer activities. It involves holding a competition for more than 30 Qatari young men and women aged between 16-24. The candidates have to present a business idea that contributes to the Qatari economy and the GDP. The candidates then compete among themselves based on the companies and ideas they want to establish. Each team of students presented their own project and how it can serve the Qatari economy.
Organizers said the goal of the workshop is to promote entrepreneurial spirit, teamwork, and positive thinking that can help youth rely on themselves. The end of the workshop featured presentations for four projects presented by the participating youth groups. The evaluation committee said that the proposed projects were very promising.
Group C were announced winners of the competition. Their project was establishing a center in Qatar to teach agriculture. The goal of the center would be to encourage home gardens and promoting culture in the field of agriculture, which promotes GDP.
