Qatar is fueling the doubling of the global Future Cities market to USD 758 billion by 2020, experts announced today ahead of the Arab Future Cities Summit.

“Worldwide, Qatar is a leader in fostering Future Cities, with Qatar National Vision 2030 guiding national digital transformation. Sharing information in real-time is delivering new levels of efficiency and digital citizen services that save time and money, creating a ‘frictionless city’ and local jobs,” said Gergi Abboud, Managing Director for the Gulf, North Africa, Levant, and Pakistan at digital transformation enabler SAP.
