Qatar's continuous dedication to fostering innovation, research, and development as essential pillars of its transition toward a knowledge-based, innovation-driven economy is reflected in its ranking of 48th in the 2025 Global Innovation Index (GII), which was released by WIPO.

Every pillar is then subdivided into smaller pillars.
