Forward Thinkers ~ Background

* In 2009 Qatar Foundation launched a new outreach campaign to encourage people everywhere to 'unlock their potential'. 

The campaign will carry Qatar Foundation’s vision, mission and values out to the Qatar community, throughout the GCC and around the world.

Over the last several years Qatar Foundation has created well-integrated, 'centres of excellence' in education, research and technology, that
form a strong base of development for the future.

The THINK campaign is built around simple, powerful words and phrases that represent Qatar Foundation’s quest for knowledge and understanding in education, science and research and community development.

The campaign is called THINK because wherever thinking happens, big ideas follow, knowledge grows, and people discover new ways to unlock their potential.
