How this atlas is made · What “last verified” means · What “source-checked” means · The full record behind this page

Qatar's smart-city layer is run by a ministry, not a city: a national cloud platform for transport, health and environment, plus a lab and an accelerator that took 25 startups in 2024.

Qatar's national TASMU programme, launched in March 2017 and now run by the Ministry of Communications and Information Technology, delivers a cloud-based digital platform (launched in July 2021) with AI and data-analytics services across transport, logistics, environment, healthcare and sport. Since 2017 it has grown a TASMU Innovation Lab, a startup Accelerator (launched 2022; MCIT counted 75 startups across three cohorts by January 2026) and the TASMU Digital Valley incubator hub.

🎓 Lesson

A national programme is judged by what it chooses to count: TASMU's recent published figures track its startup Accelerator — valuations, sales, cohorts — rather than the public services in transport, logistics, environment, healthcare and sport it was created to improve.
