On this occasion, Nof Mosaed Al-Mashaan, Executive Director of Strategy and Corporate Affairs at Ooredoo Kuwait, said: “We at Ooredoo Kuwait are proud to renew our strategic partnership with Al-Qabas newspaper for the second consecutive year to organize the MoneyTech summit, driven by our belief in the importance of such platforms in bringing together visions, expertise, and decision-makers regarding the opportunities that shape the future of the economy and technology in Kuwait and the region.

Specialized conferences play a pivotal role in bridging perspectives, connecting decision-makers with investors and experts, and creating an appropriate environment for launching initiatives that support growth and development.”

Al-Mashaan added: “We are currently living in a stage where technological transformations are accelerating at an unprecedented pace, and the ability to keep pace with these transformations and invest in them has become a fundamental factor in determining the future of economies and enhancing their competitiveness. From this perspective, Ooredoo Kuwait leads the technological transformation journey by investing in advanced digital infrastructure, developing its capabilities and services, and building strategic partnerships that enable various sectors to benefit from modern technologies and utilize them in developing their businesses.”

She continued: “Our role at Ooredoo Kuwait extends to actively contributing to building an integrated digital ecosystem that enables institutions, companies, and entrepreneurs to access the capabilities they need for growth and innovation. We believe that investing in advanced networks, data centers, artificial intelligence, and digital solutions forms the foundation for a more diversified economy capable of attracting investments and creating new opportunities for future generations.”

Al-Mashaan emphasized that the relationship between technology and the economy has become more interconnected than ever, noting that digital development contributes to enhancing business efficiency, improving service quality, enabling companies to develop new business models, and strengthening markets’ ability to attract high-quality projects and investments.

She highlighted that the digital economy represents a genuine opportunity for Kuwait to enhance its competitiveness and build new knowledge- and innovation-based sectors. Kuwait possesses key assets that position it to confidently advance in this direction, leveraging its national workforce, institutions, and capacity to forge partnerships that combine local expertise with the best global experiences to export technology.

We look forward to Kuwait leading the countries that benefit from digital transformations to develop its economy and strengthen its standing at both the regional and global levels.”

Al-Mashaan pointed out that supporting the MoneyTech Summit aligns with Ooredoo Kuwait’s direction to contribute to achieving the “New Kuwait 2035” vision, which includes aspirations to build a diversified and sustainable economy, enhance the role of the private sector, develop infrastructure, and support innovation and investment in national talent.

She affirmed that realizing Kuwait’s vision requires coordinated efforts and integrated roles among various stakeholders, as well as platforms that bring partners together to discuss priorities, explore opportunities, and build fruitful relationships. Hence, the importance of specialized conferences lies in their ability to accelerate and enable the vision by linking national aspirations with expertise, investments, and initiatives capable of delivering tangible impact.
