Key Projects
Prior to launching NEST as a subsidiary, NTEC delivered 80+ projects to governmental entities in Kuwait. The core team of NEST delivered two of the largest of these projects which were in the field of education.
EON XR Kuwait
EON XR Kuwait in Kuwait is a partnership between NEST and EON Reality.
EON XR Kuwait is an exclusive center of excellence in the region for lifelong learning dissemination of Augmented Reality and Virtual Reality-based knowledge transfer solutions. The center’s Human 2.0 initiative aims at uplifting millions of smart students and smart workers for the area-specific jobs of the future.
The center also teaches the Self-Directed Learning program that embraces active learners to become experts in various subjects. With Self-Directed Learning, instructors can simply give the students a set of subjects and parameters to create a lesson as part of their assignment — allowing them to learn a specific topic as they design their own interactive experience.
The center provides access to a state-of-the-art XR showroom, development lab, and a VR Innovation Academy which will train new VR and AR professionals to grow the local XR economy and empower graduates to start their own XR companies.

At a contract value of 10.9 million Kuwaiti Dinars ($35 million) over the course of five years, K-LEAD’s purpose was to align the K-companies and create a unified language of leadership to prepare them for change & the future.
The programme was delivered by a consortium of leading international institutions, such as London Business School, and subject-matter experts in different fields. It provided the leaders of the Kuwait Oil Sector with unique opportunities that not only shaped the future of their organizations, but also their own personal legacies.
