By embracing circular economy principles, SEEDS Academy and Visa aim to educate participants on sustainable development foundations and empower them to drive meaningful change within their communities, fostering a more resilient future for upcoming generations.
As a leading educational institution in Kuwait, SEEDS Academy is dedicated to advancing sustainability education throughout the Middle East and North Africa. The academy offers innovative courses and training programmes that cater to the needs of youth, professionals, and organisations.

The partnership’s course offerings include “Fundamentals of Circular Economy,” “Circular Business Models,” and “Sustainable Supply Chains.” These specialised courses are tailored for participants in the Middle East and North Africa region and are delivered in Arabic with English subtitles to ensure broad accessibility and understanding.
“At SEEDS Academy, we are dedicated to supporting the United Nations SDGs and the Kuwait Vision 2035, by providing accessible and inclusive education opportunities for all. By empowering local youth with the knowledge and skills needed to address pressing environmental challenges, we are laying the foundation for a more green and prosperous future.,” said Ghanima Almutawa, CEO at SEEDS Academy.
“Visa is committed to creating a digital economy for everyone, everywhere. An economy that is digital and inclusive is one that is also sustainable – it promotes efficient use of resources, fosters innovation in sustainable technologies, and provides access to more individuals and businesses to make a positive difference. That’s why we are delighted to partner with SEEDS Academy on this important initiative and to contribute to the Kuwait government’s efforts towards sustainability and an inclusive future,” said Carl Manlan, Visa’s VP and Head of Inclusive Impact & Sustainability for the CEMEA region.
