Google Cloud Sets Up a Local Office in Kuwait

Google Cloud is entering the Kuwaiti market after the Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority (KDIPA) approved the establishment of Google Cloud computing services company as an independent firm.

The company --  wholly-owned by Google Europe, Middle East and Africa Unlimited Company -- will operate under the 'One Person Company' business model. 

With a total capital of KD 600,000, the company offers services including cloud computing, data processing, web hosting, and others.

Earlier this year, Google Cloud announced a strategic alliance with the Kuwaiti government to roll out a comprehensive digital transformation roadmap across governmental entities and key state-owned enterprises in order to leverage Google Cloud's technology.

The alliance will also enable the government to expertise in data analytics, cybersecurity, and artificial intelligence (AI).

As part of the alliance, Google Cloud will work with the government to digitize citizen services and increase its employees' productivity.
