To continue our success, it is time to integrate Risk Management and Business Continuity to reach comprehensive national resilience across all areas of economic, commercial, industrial, food security, logistics and cyber security. With the support of the wise leadership of His Highness Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani, the Emir of the State of Qatar, the country has successfully navigated the challenges it faced in previous years. Throughout this period, the importance of Business Continuity and Resiliency has grown significantly, serving as a crucial foundation for both private and government-affiliated entities in Qatar.

During the recent period, we have witnessed a clear increase in the importance of business continuity and resiliency, which played the role of a fulcrum for both private and public sectors, which, thanks to these measures, succeeded in overcoming many of the obstacles and crises that they encountered, the most recent of which is the COVID-19 pandemic, which affected the business and finance in all its aspects around the world, and the operational and logistical challenges associated with them.
