In addition, the report reviews a set of innovation indicators related to both major innovation inputs and outputs (see the figure below). Each section provides an overview of Kuwait’s ranking and performance, supported by the latest available data. Finally, the report outlines potential areas for enhancing Kuwait’s standing across the different innovation indicators.
