INCIT at AU-ICDSA 2026: Advancing Inclusive Digital Transformation 

INCIT was honoured to participate in the AU-ICDSA 2026 Conference, held on 4–5 February 2026 at Australian University, Kuwait, bringing together leaders from academia, industry, and policy to explore the future of digital transformation. 

Representing INCIT, Mr. Raimund Klein, CEO of INCIT, delivered a keynote address titled “The AI Great Divide – Why 90% of SMEs Are Being Left in the Digital Dust.” In his address, Raimund examined the persistent structural, capability, and readiness gaps that continue to hinder small and medium-sized enterprises from adopting artificial intelligence and advanced digital technologies at scale. He emphasized the urgency of closing these gaps to ensure SMEs remain competitive in an increasingly data- and technology-driven global economy. 

Mr. Raimund also participated in the panel discussion “AI, Robotization, and the Future of the Job Market: The Role of Universities and Organizations,” moderated by Mr. Abdullah Alwatian. The discussion focused on how universities, industries, and institutions can collaborate more effectively to equip current and future workforces with the skills required for an AI-enabled world. 

At INCIT, we value these opportunities to engage with global academic and industry communities, contributing to thought leadership and collaboration that supports inclusive, resilient, and sustainable digital and industrial transformation worldwide.
