QRDI Council Named Global Startup Ecosystem Star 2025
(MENAFN- The Peninsula) The Peninsula
Doha, Qatar: Qatar Research, Innovation, and Development (QRDI) Council has been named a Startup Ecosystem Star in 2025, a prestigious global award bestowed annually by the International Chamber of Commerce (ICC) and Mind the Bridge.
The recognition reflects QRDI Council’s leadership in building a dynamic innovation ecosystem in Qatar, nurturing collaboration across government, industry, academia, and startups, and advancing the nation’s transition toward a knowledge-based economy.
Startup Ecosystem Stars is an annual global programme led by ICC and Mind the Bridge that spotlights organisations demonstrating exemplary impact in nurturing startup ecosystems. Honourees are recognised for initiatives that accelerate innovation, promote cross-sector collaboration, and create measurable value for entrepreneurs and the broader economy.
QRDI Council advances Qatar’s innovation agenda by convening cross-sector partnerships that translate national RDI priorities into market opportunities, enabling challenge-driven innovation and access to testbeds with public and private partners, supporting commercialisation pathways and talent development aligned to national objectives, and championing open innovation to help startups pilot, validate, and scale solutions.
As one of 54 global winners, this recognition exemplifies QRDI Council’s strategic efforts of the Qatar National Vision 2030, accelerating innovation-led diversification, strengthening industry–startup collaboration, and advancing human capital and national competitiveness.
Building on this momentum, QRDI Council continues to work on advancing their efforts to ensure that the start-up and innovation ecosystem is strengthening its foundations.
