Kuwait - __ December 2021:

As part of its ongoing support for the Food Buzz festival – the event that is dedicated to local food and beverage projects and businesses – Kuwait International Bank (KIB) announced that it will be participating in the second round of the festival’s activities, which will take place on the 28th and 29th of December at the new Assima Mall. As part of its participation, KIB will be setting up a branded interactive booth for visitors, featuring a series of games, activities, and entertaining competitions, with prizes and draws throughout.

Moreover, throughout the full duration of the festival season, which extends until February 2022, KIB is offering its visitors a chance to win the grand prize in the final draw, provided that they attend all Food Buzz events and stamp their attendance card for all four rounds of the festival.

This latest participation comes as part of KIB’s comprehensive community engagement program, which falls under the umbrella of its slogan “Bank for Life”, as Marwa Marafie, from the Bank’s Marketing and Corporate Communications Unit, highlighted. Marafie also reaffirmed KIB’s commitment to continuously be present at this event and actively interact with its visitors, in order to boost the Bank’s social connection within the community, in an atmosphere of fun and positivity.

Within this context, Marafie explained that KIB will continue offering its sponsorship for Food Buzz, as it strongly believes in the importance of supporting Kuwaiti SMEs and their entrepreneurial projects – in addition to providing suitable marketing platforms for them. She also highlighted the vital role the private sector plays in achieving sustainable development and promoting economic diversification, which in turn contributes positively to society in terms of providing job opportunities for local talents and motivating entrepreneurs to innovatively grow and develop their businesses to benefit the local economy.

Concluding her statement, Marafie reiterated that empowering young Kuwaiti talents is always at the forefront of KIB’s priorities when it comes to its all-encompassing CSR program.  The Bank strives to continue sponsoring and providing support to programs and initiatives related to the development of the SME sector in Kuwait.
