1. Technology Incubators in Kuwait
A. The Kuwait Technology Incubator
The Kuwait Technology Incubator (KTI) project was initiated in
2000 by the Kuwait Institute of Scientific Research (KISR) and the
Kuwait Small Project Development Company (KSPDC) with a view to
contributing to the realization of some of the objectives of
national development plans, such as upgrading of the national
system of innovation, diversification of the economy and creating
jobs. ESCWA was requested to provide advisory services in the
planning and design phases of this project, and several missions
were carried out for that purpose.

B. Other incubators in Kuwait
Other incubators are currently being studied in Kuwait. In
particular, KSPDC is negotiating with the Public Authority for
Applied Education and Training (PAAET) for the establishment of
two technology incubators designed to help graduates of technical
training institutes set up their own businesses based on
innovative technological ideas. Both the Ministry of Education and
the Waqf General Secretariat will be participating in the project.
A study on this incubator is awaiting approval by government
authorities.
