This recognition for our Platform – on such a highly-acclaimed international level – is a testimony for the boundless efforts of our team and partners to bring and develop digital solutions and services for the citizens and residents of Qatar.”

The TASMU Platform went live through collaboration between MCIT and its main partner, Ooredoo, which led the efforts through a consortium of world-class technological organizations to deliver on the vision of establishing a Smart Qatar as part of a knowledge-based sustainable economy that serves as a benchmark for the evolution of smart cities around the world. This endeavor was supported bylocal and international partners such as Malomatia and Microsoft, among many others.

With a primary focus on developing Qatar’s unified national data ecosystem, the TASMU Platform enables cross-sector data sharing, underpinned by security and data governance policies. The Platform’s national integration layer acts as an enabler, accelerating the deployment and go-to-market of smart use-cases by Qatar’s government sectors, top enterprises and innovators worldwide. Each use-case strategically addresses national challenges that will improve the quality of life of citizens by creating a more efficient, sustainable and resilient smart Qatar.
