Ooredoo Group's upcoming landmark Digital Ecosystem Conference will kick off Wednesday, at the Ritz-Carlton, Doha.

This first-of-its-kind event will bring together prominent policymakers, legal experts, industry leaders, academics, and innovators. Keynote speakers include HE Minister of Communications and Information Technology Mohammed bin Ali Al Mannai and ITU Secretary-General Doreen Bogdan-Martin.

The event will address the essential policies and regulations needed to drive the growth of digital platforms and services in a rapidly evolving landscape.

Under the theme "Legislation and Regulation to Drive a Successful Digital Economy", the event will cover vital topics such as policy frameworks for digital platforms, cross-border data protection, and the regulatory challenges presented by emerging technologies like AI and 5G.

Ooredoo Group CEO Aziz Aluthman Fakhroo said: "Ooredoo has embraced its role as a digital enabler - not just as a telco but as a tech company - and we are committed to creating a sustainable, inclusive digital ecosystem.

Through this Conference, we aim to position Ooredoo as a thought leader in the digital space, advocating for regulatory models that enable our digital infrastructure to reach its full potential in supporting the economy. Balanced policies are critical; while innovation is essential, so too is security, and this balance will drive opportunities for growth and investor confidence." This conference is expected to yield substantial insights and deliver tangible action points for investors and stakeholders, underscoring Ooredoos commitment to aligning with best practices that foster long-term growth.

The presence of legal experts from government departments at the conference provides a unique opportunity to enhance regulatory knowledge, enabling them to improve legal frameworks that support digital transformation and economic development.
