General Meeting
The Scientific Center of Kuwait (TSCK) will be hosting NAMES Second General Assembly Meeting, which will take place in Kuwait on 16-17 October 2010. The overarching theme of the conference will be “Science for Improved Knowledge and Prosperity”. Nowadays, economic growth is driven by the skills and innovative capacity of people; it requires progressive innovations that will improve the competitiveness of existing business and lead to the creation of new industries. Economists agree that the creation of new technological knowledge through research is our most direct economic avenue for acquiring added value. When that new knowledge is applied in market environments, it creates jobs, capital formation, profits and surpluses for reinvestment. In other words, it is from research that new companies are born and new jobs are created; it is from research that new wealth is explored and economy expands.
