Burgan Bank believes that sponsoring cultural events such as this, gives a chance to the public and younger generations to meet international artists and get introduced to different music genres from different cultures. As art continues to play a powerful role in bringing people of different cultures together and supporting progress and advancement in society, Burgan Bank is proud to support such an important musical event. This sponsorship falls under Burgan Bank’s full-fledged community program entitled ‘ENGAGE’ - Together to be the change. This program sheds light on important aspects affecting every segment of the society by promoting social welfare through educational, cultural, social and health initiatives. Burgan Bank’s approach to ‘ENGAGE’ begins with a vital principle that as a Kuwaiti financial institution, its conduct and policies should be aligned with the needs and interests of the Kuwaiti society.
