implement knowledge application and exploitation or knowledge generation and distribution. According to (Asheim, et al., 2005) RIS as an “interactive knowledge generation subsystems”. RIS may be described as symbiotic relations between companies, firms, public or governmental bodies in the terms of marketing or promoting the competitiveness of the bodies (Medomovic, 2003). RIS finds common grounds for the different companies, firms, or organizations for efficient performance.

Problem Statement
8
• Regional innovation systems are linked to organizational learning, absorptive capacity, and technological innovation capabilities (TIC) at firm level. Knowledge and technology are key to foster RIS and innovation performance (Lau and Lo, 2015)
• There are limited studies that address RIS and innovation performance in GCC at firm level. Also, healthcare sector attracts many professionals to establish SMEs in special services like healthy diet, dental services, and personal care.
• The GCC countries are investing in SMEs to enhance innovation system in many knowledge-based sectors like healthcare, ICT, and business consultancy.
• However, it critical for Kuwait to analyze the technological innovation capabilities and innovation performance for SMEs to attract talent and sustain quality of life.
