“Talabat” hosts the latest edition of the “Next Tech Gen” program in collaboration with “ICEC”

Talabat, the leading on-demand needs application in the Middle East and North Africa, hosted the latest edition of its Next Tech Gen (NTG) program at its headquarters, in collaboration with AIESEC in Kuwait, a global non-profit organization focused on developing youth leadership skills, run entirely by and for young people.

The event spanned a full day, featuring participation from AIESEC in Kuwait members and youth delegations. It included dialogue sessions moderated by a panel of experts, alongside a company tour that allowed participants to gain close insight into the internal work environment and daily operations.

This initiative aligns with Talabat’s commitment to empowering young talent and providing them with direct exposure to the work environment and labor market requirements, reflecting the company’s efforts to support the educational sector and enhance its role in corporate social responsibility.

The NTG program is a continuous monthly initiative organized by Talabat to facilitate knowledge transfer and experience sharing. It features senior technology leaders from the company delivering interactive sessions at universities and academic institutions across Kuwait. The initiative aims to share practical and field-based expertise in areas such as artificial intelligence, product development, data management, and digital platforms, thereby supporting and nurturing the country’s emerging technical talent.

This edition of the program expanded upon previous iterations, moving beyond traditional workshops to offer participants a comprehensive experience that provides firsthand exposure to the work environment and operational mechanisms within one of the region’s leading technology companies.

Commenting on the event, Amal Bu-Khamsin, Director of Corporate Affairs at Talabat Kuwait, said: “At Talabat, we believe that true and fruitful learning stems from direct field experience. There is a significant difference between merely listening about how a leading regional technology company manages and develops its operational mechanisms, and actually experiencing it firsthand while interacting with the personnel, culture, and ideas that drive the company’s daily operations. From this perspective, we are proud of our partnership with AIESEC in Kuwait to provide this opportunity to young talent and support the next generation of digital competencies in Kuwait.”
