KUWAIT, Feb 12 (NNN-KUNA) – Kuwait launched an International Makers Exhibition, in Hawalli Governorate, to support its homegrown industrial projects.
More than 170 projects from 12 Arab nations participated in the five-day exhibition.
At the opening ceremony, Kuwait’s Minister of Commerce and Industry, Khaled Al-Roudhan, said that, Kuwaiti-made projects, dealing with industry and technology, take precedence over other endeavours in different fields.
Kuwait fully supports leading Kuwaiti projects, especially those that specialised in the fields of industry, technology and even handicrafts, he said, noting that, this would contribute to a qualitative shift in the nature of the Kuwaiti industry.
The purpose of the exhibition is to give a chance to local entrepreneurs to put their projects on display, said Yousef Al-Ali, chairman of Kuwait Investment Company.
Such exhibitions provide a learning experience for these young men and women, as they seek to turn their ambitions into realities, said al-Ali, also the organiser of the exhibition.
In addition, the show offers entrepreneurs opportunities to come together and share their ideas, in a bid to propel the region’s technology and industry sectors, he added.– NNN-KUNA
