Invest Qatar and Microsoft Launch Ai.SHA, Redefining Investor-Enterprise Interactions
Invest Qatar, in collaboration with Microsoft, has unveiled an AI-powered assistant named Ai.SHA, leveraging the capabilities of GPT through the Azure OpenAI service. This initiative positions Invest Qatar among investment promotion agencies globally, embracing advanced technology to revolutionise professional interactions between investors and businesses in Qatar.
Ai.SHA, a comprehensive resource for informed decision-making, addresses inquiries on Qatar's business opportunities, investment ecosystem, business setup, and expansion. It utilises data from partner entities, including the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, Qatar Financial Centre, Qatar Science and Technology Park, and Qatar Free Zones Authority.
The development of Ai.SHA is an extension of the Memorandum of Understanding signed between Invest Qatar and Microsoft, aligning with Qatar National Vision 2030 to boost innovation in the digital sector and advance a knowledge-based economy.
Hamad Rashid Al-Naimi, Strategy Manager at Invest Qatar, expressed confidence that Ai.SHA will enhance accessibility and efficiency for investors, opening new avenues for interested parties. He emphasised Invest Qatar's commitment to innovation in the investment landscape.
Amr Samir, Public Sector Director at Microsoft Qatar, highlighted the collaboration's transformative impact on Qatar's investment scene, leveraging generative AI to redefine how investors and entrepreneurs engage with opportunities.
The launch of Ai.SHA was supported by Information & Communication Technology W.L.L., a Microsoft partner, and Applab, a Qatari company specialising in online platform development. ICT designed the chatbot's foundational framework, while Applab enhanced its user interface and website integration.
Invest Qatar recently introduced the "Invest Qatar Gateway," a digital platform tailored for investors, providing a comprehensive database of tenders and facilitating direct communication with the Invest Qatar Investor Relations team. The platform streamlines the search for business partnerships, uncovering opportunities in both public and private sectors.
The introduction of Ai.SHA marks a significant milestone in Invest Qatar's digital investment relations offering, reinforcing its commitment to creating a supportive and conducive environment for investors.
