"We are committed to creating sustainable environments that enable our entrepreneurs to effectively market their products at strategic locations, festivals, and local exhibitions," she stated.

The Home-grown entrepreneurs expressed profound gratitude for the Ministry’s support, highlighting the Qatari community's reliance on locally produced goods. "The Ministry’s continuous efforts in promoting our businesses have been instrumental in our growth," they noted. "These initiatives have significantly increased our product exposure and public awareness, contributing directly to the vitality of the national economy."
