The project also aims to rehabilitate historic buildings by preserving cultural heritage through the restoration of three existing historic structures and converting them into specialized educational centers for design.
Among its objectives is stimulating the state’s strategic transformation by contributing to the realization of Kuwait’s strategic vision for transitioning toward a diverse and knowledge-based economy through fostering innovation and creativity. Additionally, it seeks to develop advanced educational infrastructure by creating a sophisticated learning environment that helps qualify local cadres in the field of design, thereby enhancing skills, increasing employment opportunities in this sector, and opening new markets.
