She explained that digital development contributes to improving business efficiency, enhancing service quality, enabling companies to develop new business models, and strengthening markets’ ability to attract high-quality projects and investments. Al-Mushaan noted that the digital economy represents a genuine opportunity for Kuwait to enhance its competitiveness and build new knowledge- and innovation-based sectors.
