Kuwait Innovation Center (KIC) and Keeta have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to launch the first edition of Keeta Entrepreneurship Ecosystem Project (Kee Project), an entrepreneurship and technology-focused program designed to develop practical, technology-driven solutions for the food delivery sector.
The Kee Project brings together Keeta’s platform expertise and KIC’s innovation capabilities to support up to 50 local entrepreneurs, startups, and emerging talent, addressing real operational challenges through mentorship and hands-on solution development.
KIC will design and deliver the Kee Project in collaboration with Keeta, engaging participants to build proof-of-concept solutions and scalable business models aligned with the needs of the digital delivery ecosystem.
The initiative is launched under the strategic patronage of The National Fund, reflecting a shared national commitment to strengthening Kuwait’s innovation landscape and enabling SME-led growth.
The program will follow a structured journey, beginning with an open registration phase and community outreach, followed by participant selection, an intensive three-day bootcamp, and a final Pitching Demo Day and Award Ceremony. Throughout the program, participants will receive mentorship and training across artificial intelligence, digital product development, design thinking, innovation, and entrepreneurship, while gaining exposure to real insights from the food delivery sector.
Winning teams will be recognized during the final ceremony and awarded cash prizes, with top solutions eligible for potential future collaboration and implementation opportunities with Keeta.
