to empower its youth and develop a knowledge-based economy. We are proud to have been part of the
workshop’s launch through our partnership with the UNDP and GSSCPD, a step towards supporting youth

with the tools necessary to drive innovation and national development. Together, we hope to develop policies
and programs that will shape a better future for coming generations."

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.
