The visit underscored the country’s commitment to nurturing talent, advancing technology, and empowering creative citizens.
During the visit, the Prime Minister reviewed the center’s latest programs and initiatives aimed at supporting gifted Kuwaitis. SACGC serves as a national platform where science, creativity, and technology intersect. The center continues to expand opportunities for innovators, researchers, and entrepreneurs who are shaping Kuwait’s knowledge based economy.
According to officials, SACGC has already secured more than 520 patents in global markets.

Therefore, the Prime Minister expressed appreciation for the progress achieved at SACGC. He highlighted that the center represents a cornerstone in developing Kuwait’s innovation ecosystem. He also encouraged further efforts to link scientific creativity with economic opportunities that can benefit the nation as a whole.
Officials pointed out that SACGC is a subsidiary of the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences (KFAS). Through this affiliation, the center has strengthened its ability to deliver high impact programs. KFAS support enables SACGC to align with national priorities and deliver projects that push Kuwait’s technological boundaries.
Furthermore, SACGC has formed strategic partnerships with prominent institutions at home and abroad. These collaborations focus on advancing research, promoting innovation, and accelerating knowledge transfer. By leveraging these partnerships, the center ensures that Kuwaiti innovators remain connected to international best practices and emerging global trends.
