Kuwait is actively expanding opportunities for international companies seeking to establish their presence or broaden their reach in Kuwait and the wider Middle East. Driven by an ambitious reform agenda, strategic resources, and a range of enabling factors, the country offers one of the region’s most supportive and business-oriented environments. Under Law No. 116 of 2013, foreign investors are permitted to establish companies with 100% foreign ownership in selected sectors without the need for a local agent. To further facilitate and promote investment, Kuwait established the Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority (KDIPA), which provides investors with guidance, incentives, and streamlined processes at every stage—from entry to operation and expansion. Together, these efforts create a resilient market and a stable, welcoming environment for long-term growth.
