ICT sits at the heart of Kuwait Government’s 2035 strategy. The ‘New Kuwait’ 2035 strategy looks at the ambitious infrastructure improvements in transport and reforms to administration, housing and healthcare. New Kuwait identifies finance, renewable energy and IT as sectors that can help make Kuwait a centre for innovation and excellence. The development plan intends to transform the country into financial, cultural and institutional leader by 2035. The vision is based on the 7 pillars namely – public administration, infrastructure, living environment, healthcare, human capital, economy and global position.
In line with this vision, The World CIO 200 Summit 2020 will bring together the digital leaders who have gone the extra mile in living up to the expectations of their organization and thereby the nation. Join the country’s top CIOs at The World CIO Summit 2020 as we divulge industry pivotal areas through our focused keynotes, TECHTalk and expert panel discussions.
The role of a CIO is one of the most criticalone in today’s business and industry. Today, CIOs hold the future of innovation, productivity and competitiveness in their hands. At the GLOBAL CIO FORUM, we not only provide our members with an exchange forum for best IT leadership strategies and practices to enhance business results, but we are also developing a strong voice to ensure that CIOs are represented at key industry and government decision tables. In other words: Integrate. Influence. Impact.
The GLOBAL CIO FORUM represents IT Executives and CIOs globally. Currently working in META region and with expansion plans globally, the GLOBAL CIO FORUM is a non-profit community of CIOs and IT leaders whose mission is to facilitate networking, sharing of best practices and executive development, and to collaborate on issues faced by the CIOs/IT Executives.
