General Electric said on Sunday it has opened a technology centre in Kuwait to drive localised research, training and engineering support in the power sector.

“This Technology Center reflects the commitment that both the Ministry of Electricity & Water and GE have to promote, develop and sustain future Kuwaiti and international talents to serve the power industry in the Middle East region with future prospects to serve the world,” Ahmad Al Jassar, Minister of Electricity & Water, said.

Approved by the Kuwait Direct Investment Promotion Authority (KDIPA) for a license last year, Sulaibiya is the first facility of its kind outside of the United States by GE, underlining the company’s long-term commitment, GE said in an emailed statement.
