In 2024, GAC strengthened its reputation in Kuwait as a logistics partner, helping businesses across the country and the wider region streamline their supply chains. By expanding our liner operations with new routes and boosting export volumes, we gave our customers faster, more cost-effective shipping options.
Kuwait has made tremendous progress between 2018 and 2023. The pandemic was a catalyst. The introduction of platforms such as Sahel simplified processes, and the recently announced digitised certificate verifications from the Ministry of Higher Education have improved a process that used to delay university operations.
While Kuwait is not yet a fully digital society, it has built the essential platforms. True digital transformation requires a shift in mentality and work culture, not just digitised tools. That transformation is well underway.
In 2025, our strategic objectives include deepening government relations to ensure the voice of US companies is heard during economic reform processes and expanding focus groups on specific sectors such as healthcare, energy, digital economy and SMEs. We also seek to strengthen regional connectivity through our broader MENA network, and we are enhancing our advocacy platforms, providing members with timely regulatory updates and high-level engagement opportunities with both US and Kuwaiti stakeholders.
