Qatar has launched a public consultation about the “National Blockchain Blueprint for Qatar”, which was collaboratively developed by The Communications Regulatory Authority (CRA), Hamad Bin Khalifa University, and Qatar University, with the aim of receiving the views of stakeholders and concerned parties in Qatar on the content of the drafted document.
The blueprint establishes the frame for blockchain at the national level and identifies its key elements; regulatory foundation, innovation and creativity. It underlines the potential of blockchain technology and the opportunities that it can offer to Qatar.
“The National Blockchain Blueprint highlights how blockchain technology can contribute to building an innovative and growing IT sector that contributes to increasing domestic and foreign investment, which supports Qatar National Vision 2030 and Qatar National Development Strategy,” Technical Affairs Department Director at CRA Ali Al Suwaidi said.
“The regulation is important to protect users and provide the adequate legal framework that allows blockchain innovation and adoption,” Al Suwaidi added.
