Vodafone Qatar was named ‘Telecom Achiever of the Year’ at the Enterprise Agility Awards 2016 in recognition of the Company’s outstanding performance over the past year. The award was collected by Vodafone Qatar’s Director of External Affairs Mohammed Al Yami at a prestigious ceremony held at the Grand Hyatt Doha attended by top business executives.
Organised by Entrepreneur MENA, the 2016 Qatar Enterprise Agility Awards recognise and honour enterprise leaders and individuals who have distinguished themselves and shown sector significance and outstanding business conduct across a variety of industries that are key drivers of respective Middle East’s economies.
“We are proud that the Qatar Enterprise Agility awards committee has recognised Vodafone Qatar’s impressive achievements and efforts that are reflected in our solid growth. Vodafone is committed to playing a key role in Qatar’s society and to bring the world’s most advanced technologies to help realise the 2030 Qatar National Vision,” said Ian Gray , Chief Executive Officer, Vodafone Qatar.
The award committee recognised Vodafone’s continued commitment to innovation and quality in all the products and services the company has introduced in the market. The committee also noted Vodafone’s continued involvement in the start-up/SME ecosystem with its offerings and initiatives. However, it was Vodafone’s corporate social responsibility activities that received the most applaud.
The Company launched its unique platform for the Small Office/Home Office (SOHO) segment, Ready Business. Also for the enterprise segment, Vodafone brought the power of its international network to Qatar with the launch of its Global IoT Platform in March.
For consumers, in May Vodafone unveiled their Connect Plans that combine telecom innovation with experiences customers love followed shortly by its Happy Offers for prepaid customers. All this is being supported by Vodafone’s state of the art network which this year was named Best in Test’ by international leader in mobile performance testing, P3 Communications and has since maintained its leadership position.
On the CSR front, Vodafone recently announced that it has equipped Al Khor Workers Sports Complex with Wi-Fi to give thousands of labour workers access to the Internet for free and its aid programme for online child and youth safety Amantech is promoting digital literacy amongst thousands of parents and improving children’s digital safety.
