The Central Bank of Kuwait has launched the 'Innovation' Initiative Accelerator Program through its Wolooj Innovation Hub, inviting Kuwaiti talents to submit applications for a programme running from 1 September 2025 to 1 December 2025. The accelerator is positioned to elicit high-value, research-backed innovations that address regulatory, cybersecurity, supervisory or wider financial sector challenges in Kuwait. Selected applicants are expected to work on one of the central bank’s defined problem statements from its challenge list, develop ideas and solutions supported by an application or research, and engage with CBK experts, mentors and other supporting entities.
