The award is divided into three categories: the challenges category, which includes the digital sector, the healthcare sector, the education sector and the industrial sector.
The second category is called the start-up, which falls under all sectors, except for the food and beverage sector, in addition to the last category for teams consisting of affiliates of universities that are nominated to compete on their behalf in the competition.
The Resilient Award was created by QDB to honour small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) which were able to efficiently face the consequences of the Covid-19 pandemic, and to strategically turn this challenge into an opportunity for growth and prosperity.
The winners of the awards will be announced at the opening ceremony of Roward Qatar 2020.
