Altreeq
Altreeq’s coverage of Dr Badr Al-Hajri turning his home in Bani Hajer into a national tableau with the largest Qatari flag for National Day, visible from three main streets. He describes the initiative as born of pride in Qatar and its achievements, calls the flag a symbol of sovereignty, identity and unity, and says individual initiatives strengthen national sentiment and instil belonging in the younger generation.
Pensana plc
In a regulatory statement dated 18 June 2026, London-listed Pensana plc announced that Dr Badr bin Dalhim Al-Hajri had joined the board of Qatar-backed Cascade Natural Resources Ltd and fully supported the US$165 million strategic investment Cascade intends to make in Pensana, accelerating the Longonjo rare earths project in Angola. He was quoted as honoured to join and contribute to the strategic vision, stressing critical mineral supply chains and sustainable mining. The story was carried by Mining Weekly and Engineering News, then by Al-Raya, The Peninsula and Al-Sharq.
QNA
Statements given to Qatar News Agency on World Creativity and Innovation Day, published by QNA in Arabic and English and carried by Al-Sharq, Al-Raya (as an extended interview), The Peninsula and Gulf Times. He says Qatar has moved from adoption to initiative through an integrated system linking education, research and industry, and that the Arab world is in a delicate transitional phase between owning the tools of the age and being able to use them to produce real value, with the gap still in knowledge production and turning ideas into competitive products. AI, he argues, widens the frontiers of creativity and supports the digitisation of Arab heritage, while cultural identity is shaped by history and shared experience rather than by algorithms, and the human element remains what gives work its meaning and value.
Al-Arab
At an extraordinary board meeting attended by representatives of the member states, Dr Badr bin Dalhim Al-Hajri was confirmed as President of the Arab Federation for AI and Programming and unanimously granted the full powers set out in its statute, having previously served as vice president. The news led the front page of Al-Watan and was carried by Al-Arab, Al-Raya and Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, and in English by Gulf Times, The Peninsula and Qatar Tribune. In his first statements he set the priorities: an integrated strategic vision, training and research initiatives to qualify Arab talent, joint projects with Arab universities and research centres, and Arab legislative frameworks for the responsible and ethical use of AI, with healthcare, education and energy as priority sectors and Qatari digital infrastructure as a base for retaining Arab talent.
Al-Raya
The Arab Federation for AI and Programming announced the appointment of Dr Badr bin Dalhim Al-Hajri as vice president, as part of its strategy to attract Qatari talent and strengthen its institutional presence in the Arab digital transformation agenda; Federation president Dr Jamal Ahmed Yaqoub Kamal called his joining a qualitative addition. Al-Raya and Gulf Times reported the appointment, and Al-Sharq and Al-Arab followed with interviews in which he said the moment imposes a doubled responsibility to unify Arab visions in step with global digital transformation, called for supporting research, investing in young talent and building modern regulatory environments, citing the Qatari experience, and stressed the prominent role of AI in developing creativity and innovation.
Al-Roya (Oman)
A piece in Oman’s Al-Roya presenting Badr Al-Hajri as a businessman and investor. He observes that the Arab region is seeing accelerating growth in entrepreneurship, supported by rising investment in startups and government programmes, with Qatar and Egypt emerging as regional hubs. He sees startups as a key lever for digital transformation and economic diversification, stresses investment in education and innovation, and notes that financing remains the biggest challenge given the difficulty of obtaining bank funding. This is his earliest documented press item.
Erem Business
An Erem Business report on the Gulf moving from importing electric vehicles to manufacturing them and their components, drawing on Dr Badr bin Dalhim Al-Hajri as a Qatari economic expert. He argues Qatar need not compete head-on with the larger production projects in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, but can build a model based on technology and specialised manufacturing, using its infrastructure, investment capacity and digital transformation, with the Qatari market as a test bed before expanding abroad. Competition and integration run in parallel, he explains, since the industry is a long chain from batteries, semiconductors and software to charging and logistics; distributing roles across the Gulf turns scattered factories into a regional industrial base, and vehicles and systems designed for high temperatures could make the region a hub for hot-climate technology.
Erem Business
An Erem Business report on S&P, Fitch and Moody's keeping Qatar in the AA band despite around 17% of LNG output being disrupted after the March 2026 attacks on Ras Laffan, drawing on Dr Badr bin Dalhim Al-Hajri as a Qatari economic expert. He describes the Qatar sovereign fund as the economy's great safety net, notes that its investments give Qatar deep ties with global financial centres that at times amount to indirect economic and political protection, and argues that the planned production expansion does more than offset the loss: it re-anchors Qatar as a principal energy supplier as European and Asian demand for LNG grows.
Erem Business
An extended Erem Business reading of Qatar turning end-of-service benefits into a structured savings and investment system, drawing on Dr Badr bin Dalhim Al-Hajri as an economic expert and entrepreneur. He sees a long-term fund as financial security for residents and skilled employees that strengthens Qatar in the global labour market, and as a strategic step towards diversifying national investment and reducing reliance on oil revenue. Managing assets of this size will deepen the financial market and widen the range of instruments, he explains; the system rests on balanced management that pairs low-risk and higher-yield instruments with periodic rebalancing, and he favours a considered mandatory scheme with flexible investment options that protects every party.
