Our vision is to be the preferred choice for world-class communications services in Qatar, and we continue to position our Qatar operations at the heart of our global strategy for growth and expansion.

We have grown into one of the most diverse integrated communications operators in the Middle East region, offering a range of world-class GSM, fixed, cable, entertainment and technology services to consumers and businesses. Increasingly, products and services developed in our innovation hub here in Qatar help to drive growth across the Ooredoo Group, building on the market leadership that Ooredoo has enjoyed for over 20 years.

Despite the global economic downturn in 2009, Qatar – and Ooredoo – has continued to thrive as a major growth market and driver of entrepreneurialism and investment. We are proud of building the network that has provided the foundations of the world's fastest-growing economy.

In addition to the traditional fixed line and mobile sectors of the market, our growth is driven by new income streams from the ICTE (Information, Communications, Technology and Entertainment) market. Products and services from Broadband to value-added services to mobile gaming are where we are heading now to serve our market here in Qatar.

We are also seizing the opportunity to benefit from Qatar's transition to a knowledge-based economy by making appropriate investments in our networks and research and development. We are dedicated to staying current with technology and to fuelling innovative thinking throughout Ooredoo.
