Kuwaiti delegation explores China’s digital twin innovations to boost Gulf industry and urban planning

A Kuwaiti business delegation’s visit to Silkroad Visual Technology in Shenzhen highlights growing Gulf interest in advanced digitalisation tools for industrial, urban, and cultural development, underscoring China’s expanding role as a global tech partner.

On January 14, 2026, a Kuwaiti business delegation visited Silkroad Visual Technology Co., Ltd.’s headquarters in Shenzhen to examine applications of digital twin technology and Industry 4.0 in indus...

trial upgrading, according to a company statement distributed via OpenPR. The delegation toured demonstrations led by Tii Digital, a wholly owned subsidiary of Silkroad Visual, and discussed how high‑precision modelling, real‑time rendering and big‑data integration can be used to make complex production processes “visible data, traceable status, and reliable decision‑making.”

Silkroad Visual presented its development history, global business layout and end‑to‑end visual technology services, positioning digital twins as a core sector of its portfolio. The company claims Tii Digital has developed mature full‑chain solutions across smart cities, smart parks and the industrial internet, and said it is pursuing overseas market opportunities to expand the international footprint of Chinese digital creativity and technology.

According to the OpenPR report, the discussions focused on leveraging full‑process simulation and intelligent interconnectivity to optimise production efficiency and reduce manufacturing costs, with the Kuwaiti delegation affirming Silkroad Visual’s practical achievements in digital transformation. The company framed the visit as part of an ongoing effort to promote cross‑border business exchanges and technical cooperation.

The visit follows a pattern of Gulf delegations engaging Chinese technology providers. In July 2025 a Kuwaiti media delegation toured Shenzhen, Hangzhou and Guangzhou to study advances in artificial intelligence and smart‑city projects, a trip reported by Arab Times Online that included briefings on Shenzhen’s Smart City initiatives. Earlier engagements with regional partners have also connected Silkroad Visual to cultural and tourism digitalisation projects: Travel and Tour World reported a high‑level Saudi delegation visiting Silkroad Visual to explore digital models for cultural heritage and tourism aligned with Saudi Vision 2030.

Wider Kuwaiti policy signals underpin private‑sector interest in such technology partnerships. Kuwait Times reported that in October 2025 Kuwait’s Minister of State for Communication Affairs, Omar Al‑Omar, underscored the country’s drive to accelerate adoption of modern technologies and deepen international cooperation as part of Kuwait Vision 2035.

Industry observers say cross‑border visits like the Shenzhen meeting reflect growing demand in the Gulf for advanced visualisation and industrial digitalisation tools, especially where governments and state‑owned enterprises are pursuing economic diversification and infrastructure modernisation. According to market commentary, digital twins are increasingly valued not only for factory floor optimisation but also for urban planning, asset management and immersive cultural‑heritage presentation, areas where a vendor with capabilities spanning CG, VR and AR can propose integrated solutions.

Silkroad Visual was founded in 2002 and is headquartered in Shenzhen. The company describes itself as a leader in digital visual technology, offering services from digital exhibitions to comprehensive digital‑creativity and data‑visualisation solutions. The visit by the Kuwaiti delegation reinforces Silkroad Visual’s stated aim of refining core technologies and growing overseas business, though independent verification of commercial agreements or contracts resulting from the meeting was not disclosed in the company release.
