Agility KSCP launches Kuwait-centric strategy supporting Kuwait Vision 2035
KUWAIT – Agility Public Warehousing Company KSCP's (Agility KSCP) new Board of Directors today announced a refocusing of its strategic direction, shaped by Kuwait's promising growth outlook and aimed at accelerating infrastructure development.
The new strategy positions the company as a dedicated platform supporting Kuwait's national development priorities under Kuwait Vision 2035.
This focus affirms Agility KSCP's foundational mission, as defined by the Amiri Decree that established the company in 1979 to develop critical warehousing and infrastructure in Sulaibiya, Doha, and Mina Abdullah.
Positioning for Strategic Alignment with Kuwait Vision 2035
Agility KSCP is positioning its capital, operations, and leadership to support national economic priorities, with plans to invest more than KD 100 million through 2030. Agility KSCP will focus on high-priority sectors including:
Facilitating government initiatives to attract FDI and develop Mubarak Al Kabeer Port.
Contributing to the development of new economic zones such as the Northern Area project.
Customs modernization and supply chain enablement.
Industrial real estate and warehousing.
Industrial waste management and recycling infrastructure.
Development of major data centre projects.
Promoting the resilience and security of Kuwait's food and health care sectors.
The company's streamlined, Kuwait-centric strategy unlocks operational agility and capital efficiency by consolidating its footprint in a growth market where it has long-standing execution capability and deep institutional knowledge.
Driving Impact Through Governance and Capital Alignment
To better support Agility KSCP's new direction and improve the company's responsiveness to government priorities, Agility KSCP is taking several structural steps:
National alignment: Formation of a permanent senior board committee dedicated to aligning with national initiatives and enhancing stakeholder coordination, with a particular focus on deepening engagement and responsiveness to government priorities and policy direction.
Unlocking shareholder value through an in-kind distribution of Agility Global PLC stake: Agility KSCP's Board is enhancing value for its shareholders through an in-kind dividend distribution of an approximately 20% stake in ADX-listed Agility Global PLC to shareholders of Agility KSCP. This strategic move provides a direct and tangible return, allowing shareholders to benefit from a stake in a high-potential entity. By increasing Agility Global PLC's free float, the distribution is expected to significantly improve share liquidity, enhance price discovery, and position Agility Global PLC for greater visibility and potential inclusion in key equity indices. This initiative reflects the Board's ongoing commitment to maximizing shareholder value and aligning long-term interests.
Fostering Kuwaiti Talent: Building on its longstanding commitment to developing Kuwaiti human capital, the company will intensify efforts to recruit, develop, and retain Kuwaiti nationals—who will serve as the driving force behind the strategy.
New brand: To provide further clarity for shareholders and stakeholders, Agility KSCP will in due course carry a new name that reflects its new mission.
Together, these strategic priorities are designed to enhance focus and operational efficiency and unlock long-term value—reinforcing Agility KSCP's position as a trusted industrial partner and key enabler of Kuwait's economic growth.
Offering Investors Access to Kuwait's Growth
Tarek Sultan, Vice Chairman of Agility KSCP, said: 'As a company with deep national roots, we are aligning every aspect of our operations and capital allocation to serve Kuwait's long-term economic transformation. This evolution to focus on Kuwait's infrastructure priorities offers investors direct access to the country's most promising non-oil growth sectors—backed by committed capital, local execution strength, and strategic alignment with government objectives.
Our KD 100+ million investment in Kuwait's logistics and infrastructure sector underscores our belief in the country's strategic geographic position, resilient economy, and fast-growing e-commerce market. We're proud to support the development of advanced logistics and industrial infrastructure that will drive trade, create jobs, and contribute to Kuwait's broader economic diversification efforts."
In-Kind Dividend Announcement
Agility's Board of Directors has approved an in-kind dividend for Q1, 2025 in the form of shares in Agility Global PLC, representing around 20% of Agility Global PLC's issued share capital. Under the approved terms, eligible shareholders of Agility KSCP will receive 82 shares of Agility Global PLC for every 100 shares held in Agility KSCP.
This distribution reflects the Board's ongoing efforts to unlock shareholder value, improve trading liquidity for Agility Global, and enhance the company's eligibility for index inclusion.

Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit 2025 sets new benchmark for urban development dialogue
The inaugural Abu Dhabi Infrastructure Summit (ADIS) 2025 concluded with strong momentum, drawing over 4,000 participants from more than 100 countries and witnessing the signing of 15 MoUs and strategic partnerships. Held under the theme ' Future Cities: Rethinking Infrastructure for Better Lifestyles,' the two-day summit showcased a comprehensive exploration of how innovative infrastructure, strategic partnerships, and cutting-edge technology are converging to create truly liveable, lovable, and economically vibrant urban environments. The last day of the summit opened with a welcome address from H.E. Eng. Maysarah Mahmoud Salim Eid, Director General of the Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre (ADPIC), who positioned infrastructure as a strategic enabler of societal progress and identity. His address set the tone for a day focused on 'Lifestyle Development,' framing infrastructure not just as physical assets but as foundational to the values and future-readiness of cities. He also asserted the summit's role as a 'critical connection for global thought and action in infrastructure.' A panel titled 'Urban Excellence: Lessons from the World's Most Innovative Cities' explored how urban centres worldwide are integrating inclusive growth, sustainability, and cultural relevance. Speakers included Daniel Liu, Executive Director at MORROW Intelligence; Emre Arolat, Founding Partner and Principal at Emre Arolat Architecture; Asma Aljassmi, Executive Director of Projects Control and Operations at Aldar Projects; and Greg Bargull, Executive Director of Development at Modon. Key takeaways highlighted the need for human-centric urban frameworks, the importance of design in reflecting local identity, and the critical role of public-private partnerships in shaping liveable urban environments. Paul O'Brien, Chief Development Officer at Modon, led a fireside chat on the evolving role of nature in urban design. He discussed how Modon is embedding sustainability at scale across its projects, leveraging natural systems and technology to enhance efficiency and long-term value. O'Brien also noted the company's role in exporting these practices beyond the UAE, demonstrating the viability of sustainable urban models globally. He further emphasised Modon's pioneering position, affirming that the company is actively exporting its innovative approach to urban development, thereby proving that cities function better when they work with, not against, natural and technological systems. The conversation continued with a panel discussion focused on how cities are developing adaptable ecosystems that integrate transportation, commercial activity, and social interaction. The panel emphasized a human-centric approach to urban development and the importance of making effective use of existing infrastructure. Speakers included Omran Malek (Head of the SAVI Cluster, Abu Dhabi Investment Office – ADIO), Dr. Talib Alhinai (General Manager – UAE, Archer Aviation), Salam Ilayyan (Advisor, Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre – ADPIC), and Prashant Kapila (Board Member, International Federation of Consulting Engineers – FIDIC). 'Every citizen expects public spaces to be functional, open, human-accessible, safe, and climate-resilient, with integrated technology and sustainability features,' said Salam Ilayyan highlighting the key considerations for public spaces. Building on this, Omran Malek detailed Abu Dhabi's cutting-edge approach to smart mobility, noting, 'We are looking at how existing infrastructure, like helipads and parking lots, can be leveraged for multi-modal transport, making the most of every space.' Complementing this vision, Dr. Talib Alhinai from Archer Aviation presented a future for urban air mobility, explaining, 'Archer's mission is to replace 60 to 90-minute car drives with 10 to 20-minute electric air taxi flights, widening access to efficient urban mobility.' A session on luxury real estate featured insights from industry leaders such as Michael Belton, Chief Executive Officer, MERED; Kristina Zanic, CEO and Founder, Kristina Zanic Consultants; David Harman, Chief Development Officer, Modon Real Estate; Mulham G. Kheriba, CDO, Reportage; and Kourosh Salehi, Partner & Global Design Principal, LWK + Partners. The discussion centred on how luxury development is shifting toward wellness, sustainability, and deeper brand immersion. Panelists emphasised operational efficiency, environmental integration, and user experience as new cornerstones of premium living. In the last fireside chat for the day, H.E. Mohammed Al Suwaidi, Financial Affairs Executive Director, Abu Dhabi Projects and Infrastructure Centre (ADPIC), and Georges-Pascal Haber, CEO, Cleveland Clinic Abu Dhabi discussed the growth of the wellness sector and its integration into urban development. Both speakers outlined how Abu Dhabi is embedding healthcare and wellness into its infrastructure strategy, combining advanced technology with cultural context to build a comprehensive, future-ready urban health ecosystem. 'Abu Dhabi's unique approach to wellness blends its heritage and cultural traditions with advanced technology, creating a distinct and comprehensive experience,' said H.E. Mohammed Al Suwaidi. Georges-Pascal Haber further underscored Abu Dhabi's growing prominence, stating, 'Abu Dhabi has become a centre of gravity for healthcare and wellness, attracting top talent through its unparalleled infrastructure and environment.' Across both days, ADIS 2025 provided a focused platform for international dialogue on building sustainable, inclusive, and technologically advanced cities. With over 70 speakers and participation from a diverse range of sectors, the summit demonstrated Abu Dhabi's strategic plan to lead infrastructure innovation in the region and beyond. As cities globally contend with rapid urbanisation, climate change, and shifting economic priorities, ADIS 2025 has positioned itself as a significant venue for shaping the next generation of urban development policy and practice.
