Kuwait govt collaborates with Google Cloud for digital transformation roadmap
This will support digitising government services, migrating national data securely to the cloud, and setting up a national digital skills programme.
The Kuwait government and Google Cloud have announced a strategic alliance to create a comprehensive digital transformation roadmap across government entities and important state-owned enterprises.
This will enable the government to leverage Google Cloud’s technology and expertise in data analytics, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence for the rapid digital transformation of the country, in line with Kuwait’s Vision 2035.
Google Cloud and the Government of Kuwait plan to digitise citizen services and increase employee productivity, as well as implement several digital transformation initiatives in healthcare, education, disaster recovery, and smart living.
Google Cloud plans to set up a local office in the country and build a state-of-the-art cloud region in collaboration with the Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority (KDIPA), the Central Agency for Information Technology (CAIT), and the Communication and Information Technology Regulatory Authority (CITRA). The new cloud region will help public sector organisations, businesses, and startups in their digital transformation journeys.
