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.”

Mr. Sherif Eltokali, Deputy Resident Representative – UNDP Kuwait, said: “The upcoming

Knowledge Week will showcase the immense potential of Kuwaiti youth and their role in driving
sustainable development.

Through this initiative, we seek to nurture an environment that promotes public-private
collaboration, in line with the nation’s ongoing efforts to achieve economic diversification.”

Ms. Eman Al-Sharrah, Director of the National Knowledge Economy Center, said: “The ‘Knowledge

Journey in Kuwait’ initiative marks a key milestone in realizing the objectives of ‘Kuwait Vision 2035’
and fostering a knowledge-driven society.

Events like this drive cross-sector collaboration and empower young people to take on leadership
roles as we build a sustainable economy. The initiative will also offer youth the essential tools for
embracing innovation and strategic thinking, paving the way for a brighter tomorrow.”
