The initiative was launched in partnership with the Kuwaiti General Secretariat of the
Supreme Council for Planning and Development (GSSCPD)

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.”
