Emma Morley, UNDP Resident Representative in Kuwait, said, 'UNDP is dedicated to
supporting Kuwait's transition to a diversified economy by equipping its youth with the skills

and knowledge needed to foster innovation and strengthen the private sector. As young
people lead the way with fresh, innovative ideas, this initiative enables Kuwaitis to take an

active role in shaping the country's sustainable future and driving long-term economic
growth.”

On behalf of GSSCPD, Eman Al-Sharrah stated: 'This initiative offers a valuable opportunity

for Kuwaiti youth to develop their skills and engage with experts and decisionmakers.
GSSCPD is committed to supporting initiatives that align with Kuwait Vision 2035 by

prioritizing investment in human resources and promoting youth roles in sustainable
development. Believing that youth are the drivers of change, GSSCPD emphasizes that by

equipping them with knowledge and expertise, we can build a strong, diversified economy.'

The workshop engaged participants in discussions with industry experts and UNDP

representatives on the critical role of knowledge economies in driving future development, the
significance of the GKI, and the need for continuous skills development to remain competitive

in evolving markets. The day's agenda included a detailed presentation of the GKI, an
exploration of knowledge markets and their influence on national economies, and a focus on
future skills required to build a competitive knowledge economy.

The Knowledge Journey will continue with two additional sessions, leading up to the

Knowledge Week, the first initiative of its kind, in early 2025.
