As previously reported, on 2-9 September, Doha, Qatar, hosted the 2023 Seeds for the Future program.

Students represented 15 Middle East and Central Asia countries. This includes Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Kuwait, UAE, Bahrain, Kazakhstan, Pakistan, Uzbekistan, Jordan, and others.

The Ministry of Education and Higher Education of Qatar held the closing ceremony of the first stage of this educational program.

The regional program, supported by the Qatar Communications Regulatory Authority, is noteworthy because it aims to exchange knowledge among talented students, increase their awareness of the ICT sector, and involve youth in developing a digital society.

This year, the Seeds for the Future program hosted eight days of intensive training sessions and workshops, including cutting-edge ICT technologies, scientific and technological leadership, discussions on global topics, Tech4Good group projects, etc. 

As a result, seven teams of 40 students advanced to the program’s second stage, which is currently taking place in Dubai, UAE. Among the winning teams are representatives of Uzbekistan, Qatar, the UAE, Jordan, Mongolia, Kazakhstan, and Azerbaijan, who are competing for the right to participate in the final stage of the program in China.
