The [Kuwait Times](https://kuwaittimes.com/article/51622/business/zain-supports-the-growth-of-kuwaits-creative-economy/) reported that the partnership is intended to connect Kuwaiti artists, designers and content creators with businesses.\n\n## Zain Kuwait Announces Festival at ZINC\n\nThe announcement was made during a press conference at the Zain Innovation Campus (ZINC) at the company's headquarters in Shuwaikh. Hamad Al-Musaibeeh, Director of Corporate Relations and Communications at [Zain Kuwait](https://akta.pro/company-profiles/02lx9vu/zain-kuwait), attended, along with Mishary Al-Mutawa, Co-Founder of the Creativity Festival; Sara Al-Rabeea, the festival's Executive Director; and Sara Khalaf, Head of Exhibitions at the National Council for Culture, Arts and Letters.\n\nThe festival will serve as a platform for knowledge exchange, professional networking and collaboration, and will create opportunities for businesses to discover and engage with homegrown talent. Zain's support is intended to help raise the profile of Kuwaiti creatives and expand their opportunities within the creative industry.\n\nThe event also aims to strengthen connections between the creative community and the business sector, bridging the gap between local talent and organizations seeking fresh ideas and innovative solutions. By encouraging businesses to tap into Kuwait's creative expertise across art, design and content creation, the festival seeks to support the development of a more connected and competitive creative industry.\n\n## Zain Kuwait's Regional Expansion\n\nAccording to akta.pro [company records](https://akta.pro/company-data), Zain was awarded a 25-year telecom license in Syria in June 2026 following a USD 747 million competitive bid, establishing a new entity where Zain Group holds a 75% stake and a Syrian government entity holds 25%, with commercial launch expected in Q1 2027. The same records show ZainTECH partnered with Nile in July 2026 to deliver Secure Network-as-a-Service solutions for multi-site enterprises across healthcare, hospitality, education, banking and manufacturing.\n\n## Earlier Zain Kuwait Partnerships\n\nZain Kuwait received a GCC recognition for its long-term partnership with the Kuwait Dive Team at a ceremony in Bahrain in October 2026, the Kuwait Times reported.
