Programme

Kuwait is looking for the latest design innovations for the realisation of their ambitious projects. Although the Kuwaiti market offers many opportunities, international companies often face a number of obstacles entering the market such as a lack of local market understanding, knowledge of the procurement procedures and meeting with decision makers. This trade mission programme provides participants with a full introduction into the Kuwaiti market. Through participation you will meet with key decision makers, learn about upcoming projects and understand the procedures for working in Kuwait.

The programme of the trade mission starts with an intake interview to understand your company. Furthermore, in preparation for your trade visit, you will be invited to take part in a workshop on doing business in Kuwait. During the trade visit you will be able to present your company directly to the most important public and private developers and market parties that are relevant to your business. These meetings are an effective tool to present your company and to meet face to face with relevant decision makers, who on their turn will inform you about their current and upcoming infrastructure projects. The programme will also feature a networking reception at the Dutch Embassy in Kuwait, which will be attended by representatives of the Kuwait construction and infrastructure market. Please find below tentative version of the planned collective meetings. Based on your profile, individual meetings can be added to your programme:
