Al-Na’ayem project to drive Kuwait’s industrial growth

An official, who preferred to remain anonymous, confirmed that the location of the city was carefully chosen -- in Southwest Jahra -- to serve as the starting point for several industrial cities, accommodating different industries and providing industrial plots. He pointed out that the launching of this project by Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority (KDIPA) will boost the national economy, ease the financial burdens of the state, decrease the budget deficit, and attract foreign and local investments. He added that this massive project will contribute to the ongoing efforts to eliminate environmental pollution through the use of smart industrial technologies in recycling waste.

He also stressed the importance of the project in providing job opportunities for Kuwaiti youths, while confirming that the project is in line with the strategy of Kuwait to achieve carbon neutrality in the oil and gas sector by 2050 and in other industries by 2060. He revealed that the project is being implemented in a highly efficient manner and in accordance with environment-friendly requirements, such as the provision of energy through solar panels. He asserted that the significance of the project is amplified with the opening of Mubarak Port, which will make Kuwait a gateway for exports to most Asian countries, thus, contributing to the development of the Kuwaiti industrial sector by strengthening the integration of supply chains.
