Qatar Chamber (QC) emphasized the State of Qatar's significant role in providing a host of programs to support entrepreneurs, productive families, and people with disabilities, in addition to QC's role in this field and cooperation with the concerned authorities.
This came in a speech delivered by QC Acting General Manager Ali Saeed Bu Sherbak Al Mansori in the third panel discussion on 'The private sector's role in supporting entrepreneurship for people with disabilities and productive families 2024' within the high-level Arab meeting on "Entrepreneurship: Towards Empowering People with Disabilities & Productive Families", organized by the Arab League in conjunction with the Arab Leaders Summit in Manama.
In his remarks, Ali Bu Al Mansori stressed the significance of entrepreneurship for the economy in general and for people with disabilities in particular.
He noted that entrepreneurship is a skill that can be acquired through education and study, stressing that it primarily relies on the ability to assess opportunities and challenges in the surrounding environment and transform them into productive projects with positive outcomes.
Al Mansori pointed out that linking the concept of entrepreneurship with start-ups or for-profit projects is an inaccurate, as anyone can possess an entrepreneurial mindset capable of improving and developing projects that are already existing.
He explained that there are three key elements of entrepreneurship including innovation, risk-taking, and business management.
QC Acting General Manager also underscored the importance of launching initiatives to support entrepreneurs with disabilities, affirming that such efforts should be accompanied or preceded by special awareness programs.
He further stressed the importance of providing allocations in social responsibility programs for people with disabilities, aiming to support and promote individual initiatives for these individuals.
He also emphasized Qatar's significant role in providing a host of programs to support entrepreneurs, productive families, and people with disabilities. He also reviewed the QC's role in this regard and its commitment to enhancing cooperation with the concerned authorities to support this category.
