Encouraging and empowering SMEs, who are the backbone of our economy, to innovate and pursue their unique visions is a key factor in building a strong, healthy, and sustainable economy. Our partnership with the COFE App, as well as other Kuwait-based innovative concepts, reinforces our efforts to support the youth, entrepreneurs, and innovators to pursue their creative visions to achieve an outcome that places them on the regional and global maps.”
Mr. Al Ebrahim, CEO of the COFE App, said that “It is a matter of great pride for us to be forging this strategic partnership with stc, a regional telecom and digital solutions pioneer that has greatly contributed towards empowering the SME community in Kuwait. We have always sought to work with organizations that believe in our vision to enhance people’s lives through technology. As a lifestyle app we have always sought to shorten the distance between coffee lovers and their daily COFE, and we hope that our association with stc will also add much joy and rewards to this daily experience.”
