By combining KIB's commitment to innovation with the talent and creativity of KCST students, we aim to drive growth in both the banking sector and the innovation ecosystem in Kuwait. We are excited to see the positive impact this partnership will have on both students and the broader community.”

El-Shareef added: “This agreement reaffirms our dedication to advancing the Human Intelligence Innovation Program ‘H.I’, launched by the Bank in 2023 as a cornerstone for fostering future innovation in Kuwait. Collaborations such as this one set the stage for greater cooperation with higher education institutions, creating more opportunities for local talents to shine, and having a positive impact on the country’s development.” 

From his side, Professor Khalid Al-Begain, President of Kuwait College of Science and Technology said: “We are delighted to sign this MoU and partner with Kuwait International Bank (KIB), one of the leading banking institutions in Kuwait. The partnership will definitely serve the common goal of both parties in developing a technologically skilled workforce that are well-equipped with the knowledge and experience in the latest developments in cybersecurity, artificial intelligence and data science.”
