Three Kuwaiti innovators selected to represent the country at Spain’s Venture Day event
The Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Giftedness and Creativity has announced the completion of its “Engineering Ideas Incubation” program, culminating in the selection of three Kuwaiti innovators to represent the country at the Venture Day event organized by the Spanish International University (IE) this December.
The event will provide a platform for the innovators to present their projects to global investors and experts in technological entrepreneurship.
A press release issued by the center, after several months of intensive learning, development, and innovation, 21 participants were carefully evaluated, and three were ultimately chosen to showcase Kuwait’s emerging talent on the international stage.
The first selected innovator, Fatima Al-Anzi, developed Brailliance, an educational device designed to empower blind and visually impaired students. The device offers an interactive approach to learning various educational subjects, with a particular focus on basic mathematics.
The second innovator, Dhara’a Al-Jumah, created SPX, a platform that enables specialists in design, contracting, and manufacturing to manage furniture supply strategies efficiently. Using artificial intelligence, the platform generates technical specifications, ensures compliance with standards, and provides data-driven insights to streamline operations.
The third innovator, Ahmed Salmeen, introduced LIVE, an AI-powered design platform that allows architects and designers to create healthier and more sustainable spaces in minutes instead of hours. The platform integrates AI technologies with principles of sustainability and well-being, simplifying the design and analysis process from planning layouts to designing lighting and air conditioning systems.
The center emphasized that the program reflects its dedication to providing an integrated environment to foster engineering innovation, empowering young minds to develop technological solutions with local and global relevance. Launched in May in collaboration with the Spanish university, the initiative aims to support Kuwaiti engineers and innovators in transforming their ideas into practical prototypes.
Over 80 participants with promising engineering concepts joined the program, and after a rigorous selection process, 21 were advanced to the next stage.
This stage included intensive mentoring and guidance from international experts in innovation, entrepreneurship, and advanced technologies, leading to the final selection of the three innovators who will represent Kuwait abroad.
The program marks a significant step in promoting technological entrepreneurship in Kuwait and highlights the growing global presence of Kuwaiti innovators in engineering and applied technologies.
