MBRF and UNDP to organize second phase of ‘Knowledge Journey

in Kuwait’ for youth empowerment and knowledge dissemination

The initiative was launched in partnership with the Kuwaiti General

Secretariat of the Supreme Council for Planning and Development (GSSCPD)

20 January 2025- The Mohammed bin Rashid Al Maktoum Knowledge Foundation (MBRF) and
the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), in partnership with the Kuwaiti General

Secretariat of the Supreme Council for Planning and Development (GSSCPD), will conduct the
second phase of the ‘Knowledge Journey in Kuwait’ initiative on February 5 and 6, 2025. It aims

to nurture critical leadership skills such as innovation and creativity among Kuwaiti youth while
promoting the nation’s long-term sustainable development and enhancing the dynamism of the

private sector.

Such initiatives facilitate meaningful conversations between youth and policymakers and

collaborations between the public and private sectors, catalyzing Kuwait’s transition to a
knowledge-driven economy. They also promote data-driven decision-making and positively shape

future strategies to strengthen the national economy.

His Excellency Jamal bin Huwaireb, CEO of MBRF, said, “The ‘Knowledge Journey in Kuwait’ is
a unique global platform synergizing intellectual knowledge and practical experiences to explore

the future of the knowledge domain, as well as its role in shaping societies’ intellectual landscape.

Such events serve as an ideal avenue to foster innovation, exchange expertise, and bolster
essential skills, empowering communities to anticipate and address future challenges. We hope

the upcoming Knowledge Week in Kuwait will inspire Kuwaiti youth to take on a prominent role
in elevating the nation’s knowledge landscape, paving the way for sustainable growth.”
