The Ministry of Economy and Commerce has announced the launch of new mobile services that enable businesses to delete main and branch commercial registrations, add new commercial activities and issue replacements for lost commercial licenses, through its mobile application. The services are available via the app on both iPhone and Android devices under the name MEC_QATAR. The services enable users to process requests online at any time without the need to visit the ministry or any of its branch offices.
The new services are part of a number of smart-phone applications provided by the ministry in order to improve business processes in the State of Qatar as well as streamline and speed-up business incorporation procedures thereby promoting Qatar’s business and investment environment.
The Ministry of Economy and Commerce has launched a selection of smart electronic services, representing a quantum leap forward with respect to the means of communication between the ministry and the public; whether they are consumers, investors or simply those of whom who are interested in economic affairs.
Users are able to access a basket of unique electronic services; for instance issuing and renewing commercial licenses and records, accessing commercial company records, searching for commercial names, accessing company details as well as certificates of non-ownership; in addition to a variety of administrative services that enable entrepreneurs to manage their businesses easily and conveniently.
The Ministry of Economy and Commerce has recently won a number of awards for its mobile application on iPhone and Android devices including first prize in the “best smartphone application” category in the Arab Region.
 
The award was presented at the 7th edition of the Smart Government Excellence Awards that was organized in the city of Kuwait in April under the patronage of His Excellency Sheikh Mohammad Abdullah Al-Mubarak Al-Sabah, Kuwait’s Minister of State for Cabinet Affairs.
 
Last February, the Ministry of Economy and Commerce received the Best Mobile-Government Service Award across the Arab world in the economy and trade category in recognition of its mobile application on iPhone and android. The award was presented during the 4th edition of the World Government Summit held in Dubai, UAE under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum, Vice- President of the United Arab Emirates, Prime Minister and Ruler of Dubai.
 
The awards reflect the ministry’s efforts in developing Qatar’s business sector, in line with its vision to build a diversified and unique business environment that is attractive to investors. Launched mid-last year, the mobile application is one of the most important and innovate initiatives implemented by The Ministry of Economy and Commerce, according to the highest international standards.
