Under the patronage and in the presence of His Highness the Prime Minister Sheikh Ahmed Al-Abdullah Al-Sabah, Kuwait will host the Ninth Gulf-European Business Forum on Wednesday under the theme “Together for Shared Prosperity.”

The two-day event, organized at the Abdullah Al-Salem Cultural Centre, brings together senior government officials, business leaders, investors, and innovators from the Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) and Europe.

As the current chair of the GCC, Kuwait is presiding over this strategic gathering, which aims to strengthen economic cooperation between the Gulf and Europe, promote trade and investment opportunities, and support knowledge exchange and innovation in pursuit of economic diversification and sustainable growth.
A Platform for Strategic Partnerships

The forum serves as a key platform to build new Gulf-European partnerships, explore joint ventures, and foster dialogue between the public and private sectors. Participants will engage in discussions on issues such as green growth, digital transformation, food security, renewable energy, and sustainable finance.

European ambassadors, in statements to Al-Rai, praised Kuwait’s pivotal role in fostering stronger relations between the GCC and the European Union, describing it as a reliable and forward-looking partner in advancing regional economic integration and sustainable development.

They commended Kuwait’s stable investment environment and progressive legislation, which continue to attract European investors seeking opportunities in the country’s growing sectors.
