Moreover, it aims to encourage competitiveness by organising scientific competitions and granting scholarships to the winners from Gulf countries and the Arab region. The Foundation also adopts the distinguished scientific projects to encourage innovative scientific projects. Shaikha Fadyah Al Saad Al Sabah Scientific Competition was established in 1999 in Kuwait, and branched out into the rest of the Gulf countries in 2011. It's an innovative technology-based competition targeting female students in the public education sector. The event focuses on Elementary, Intermediate, and Secondary school
