CULTURAL VIBRANCY
Cultural Vibrancy in Arab Cities was produced under the exclusive sponsorship of the Abu Dhabi Department of Municipalities and Transport (DMT) and with the support of the UAE Ministry of Culture and Knowledge Development (MCKD).
This research focuses on mapping out two indicators that define the cultural vibrancy across 12 Arab cities. The indicators are the cultural infrastructure and the innovation clusters.
POWERING THE CREATIVE ECONOMY
Nuqat developed surveys in collaboration with the World Bank Group. The collaboration was part of a broader World Bank Group engagement with the Kuwait National Fund for SME Development, initiated in 2013. The current engagement focuses on institutional development and implementation support and takes a holistic approach in supporting the development of a SME ecosystem in the country.
