KDIPA promotes Kuwaiti investments in Expo 2020 Dubai

The Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority’s (KDIPA) participation in the Kuwaiti pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai aims at encouraging and attracting global investors to endorse investments in Kuwait, according to KUNA reports.

KDIPA executive Bibi Marafi said that the KDIPA was considered as the main source of investment promotion in Kuwait, adding that it facilitated entry procedures for investors worldwide.

Kuwait’s participation in Expo Dubai 2020 will be the largest of its kind in the country’s history and a reflection of its deep cultural heritage, according to Mazen Ali Zakaria Alansari, deputy director of the Kuwait pavilion.

Under the theme, 'New Kuwait: New opportunities for sustainability', the pavilion will showcase the past, present and future of the country, in line with the Kuwait Vision 2035

“The main thing for us is participation. This is the first expo in the GCC, Arab world, and the Middle East region, so it is very important for us to play a big role in making sure that it is a worldwide success,” he said.

With that, the Kuwaiti pavilion is set to have six booths outside its building that will showcase participation for local brands and small businesses.

“We're keen on highlighting SMEs, and especially our young entrepreneurs over the next six months,” Alansari said.

He added that Expo will help boost international relations by bringing together all nations under one platform, with many countries seeking to benefit economically after the challenges of the pandemic.
