Qatari Women Entrepreneurs Innovation: Shaping the Future of Business

The Qatari government has placed considerable emphasis on women's empowerment as a fundamental component of its National Vision 2030. This vision outlines strategic goals for Qatar's development, prioritising economic diversification and social inclusion. Consequently, women are encouraged to participate in the workforce, and this encouragement extends to the realm of entrepreneurship. As such, technology-driven enterprises, such as fintech and health tech, have gained traction, with women leading the charge in these dynamic sectors. This paper aimed to examine the impactful ways in which Qatari women are driving innovation and shaping the entrepreneurial landscape of Qatar. The secondary materials used each of the subject matters covered by no less than 15 scholarly articles, despite several studies pursuing wide-ranging survey efforts, which did not dig deeper. The paper shows that Qatari women have been able to pursue higher education and obtain advanced degrees in various fields. This increased access to education has empowered Qatari women to pursue their goals and aspirations, thereby contributing to the overall progress and development of the country. Also, Qatar has been front front-runner in applying technology and innovation in the field of renewable energy to minimise its carbon footprint and support sustainable development. The Paper concludes that through a combination of changing social norms, government support, and economic opportunities, more and more Qatari women are breaking barriers and starting their businesses. As these women continue to succeed and inspire others, they are contributing to a more inclusive and vibrant entrepreneurial ecosystem in Qatar and paving the way for future generations of women entrepreneurs in the country.
