The accelerator, called Zain Great Idea, "helps accelerate hundreds of startups, many of them now own thriving businesses, not just in the Kuwaiti market, but across the region," the release says.

Zain has also partnered with the Kuwait Foundation for the Advancement of Sciences and the Sabah Al Ahmad Center for Giftedness and Creativity to "upskill the youth, empower creativity and innovation, and enhance the local startup ecosystem," the release says.
