Kuwait: Towards a Digital Economy
Overview
Kuwait’s economy has swiftly overcome the challenges of the pandemic and set course toward a more sustainable and technologically advanced future. Both the private and public sectors are becoming increasingly digitalized, with renewable, cost, and energy-efficient solutions being implemented across the economy. The economy is led by a strong and effectively organized banking sector and the state is preparing its halls for foreign investors from around the world.
As we are witnessing a steady transition in many areas of the market, this event aims to explore the three major spheres in which the Kuwaiti economy is making progress. Through the facilitation of three discussion panels—on digital transformation, sustainable practices and developments, and entrepreneurial agility—we will observe the changes that have taken place within the country and offer attendees a chance to learn more about each aspect of these advancements.
The Business Year will use this event to bring together representatives of the private and public sectors to discuss their collaborative opportunities in advancing the country’s business developments. We will gather leaders, innovators, and investors under one roof and provide a space for these important topics to be contemplated, addressed, and built upon. We hope to put the Kuwaiti economy in the spotlight of the wider global business community.
The Business Year: Kuwait 2023 will be officially launched on this special occasion.
