By helping them present their products in line with local market demands, these efforts reinforce their active participation and highlight their valuable contributions to the nation’s progress.
Owners of Home-Grown projects expressed their appreciation for the Ministry's support, emphasizing that Qatari society increasingly values national products. They attributed the success of their projects to the Ministry's strong support, including the promotion and showcasing of their work at various events.
