demographics despite any regional boundaries, attaining our vision of a sustainable knowledge economy based on
innovation and creative thinking.”

Emma Morley, Resident Representative of UNDP in Kuwait, said,“The 'Knowledge Journey in Kuwait' exemplifies our
unwavering commitment to accelerate youth empowerment across the Arab region, empowering them as the key partners
in building sustainable futures. In the present world, nations' growth is mainly driven by their investment in knowledge,
innovation, and human capital. Our partnership with MBRF and the Kuwaiti SCPD contributes towards equipping youth and
women to navigate global trends, inform evidence-based policymaking, and actively shape the nation's future. Furthermore,
this initiative is aligned with our commitment to 'Kuwait Vision 2035,' which aims to position the youth as key players in
creating a diversified, inclusive knowledge economy.”

The General Secretariat for SCPD underscored that this initiative advances national efforts to empower youth and foster
local talent, in line with the National Development Plan and Kuwait Vision 2035. The council highlighted that investing in
human capital is a key step towards attaining sustainable development and establishing a knowledge-based economy.
Through its partnership with MBRF and UNDP, the council seeks to develop an environment that supports youth leadership
skills and digital transformation across industries. This partnership will help cultivate a new generation of leaders capable of
navigating future challenges and creating development opportunities.

The final phase of the initiative follows the path of the previous ones, building on their results and drawing from fruitful
sessions and discussions held across various sectors. It aims to create practical and strong recommendations that
contribute to the development of a knowledge-based society. The first phase, held in October 2024, highlighted the
significance of knowledge in driving development and the role of the Global Knowledge Index as a tool for evaluating the
status and trends of global knowledge economies.

Meanwhile, the second phase, conducted in February 2025, underscored the role of technology utilization, research
development, and digital literacy in boosting sustainable development across Arab nations. It also underscored the
importance of improving the education system and fostering lifelong learning, especially in vocational training.

The 'Knowledge Journey in Kuwait' builds on the success of the 'Knowledge Week' initiative, previously held in Jordan
(2019) and Egypt (2020). It aligns with global efforts to promote vibrant, knowledge-based societies and reinforces MBRF's
commitment to fostering a sustainable knowledge economy rooted in innovation and creativity, both regionally and globally.
