Sabah Al-Ahmad Center launches Silicon Valley 2025 Program for Kuwaiti youth
The Sabah Al-Ahmad Center for Giftedness and Creativity (part of the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences) confirmed that its pioneering Silicon Valley 2025 Acceleration Program offers Kuwaiti youth a unique opportunity to gain hands-on experience in startup acceleration and business model development.
The program, targeting young Kuwaitis between the ages of 21 and 35, will hold its second edition in Kuwait this November in collaboration with Plug and Play, one of Silicon Valley’s leading innovation centers. The 10-day program provides participants with direct interaction with entrepreneurs, investors, and global experts, covering everything from building business models to preparing investment presentations, reports Al-Rai daily.
The initiative prioritizes projects in education, health, food and water security, energy, environment, and digital transformation. Participants will receive individual mentoring, workshops, field visits, and training in market entry strategies, refining business models, verifying product-market fit, and improving presentation skills—all conducted in English.
The program represents a strategic step in transforming Kuwaiti innovation into global influence, supporting national talent and connecting it to international markets. Registration is open until August 31, with an introductory session on September 7 and selection days on September 9-10. The official program will run from November 8–21, with the final report due by December 4, 2025.
