IN SHORT

A Kuwait Oil Company engineer by day, Faisal Bader Aljihayem is also one of Kuwait’s foremost urban innovators on a mission to transform urban environments in the country and the way they interact with people and nature. An optimist and a go-getter, he sees a bright future for his country. “There is so much potential in Kuwait. We have to increase our knowledge and be pro-active. We have to think out of the box,” Faisal says. “We want our lives to have meaning. You have to do your part to make a difference in your society even in a small, a very small way.”
