Kuwaiti business groups convene for their yearly Inter-Council summer banquet
In the heart of Kuwait, the Grand Hyatt played host to the annual Inter-Council Summer Dinner, a significant event that brings together the international business community for an evening of networking, collaboration, and celebration.
Established in 2020, the Lebanese Business Council Kuwait is one of the organisations that spearhead this event. Its mission is to promote trade between Kuwaiti and Lebanese businesses and strengthen the economic and cultural exchange between the two countries. The Portuguese Business Council Kuwait, another participant, aims to foster economic and commercial ties between Portugal and Kuwait, offering a platform for Portuguese companies to network and develop business opportunities in Kuwait.
The Inter-Council Summer Dinner is a strategic platform that serves to strengthen cross-cultural and cross-sector ties in Kuwait's diverse commercial landscape. Organised by a coalition of councils and forums, including ABCK-AmCham Kuwait, British Business Forum, Canadians in Kuwait, German Business Council, Indian Business and Professional Council, Lebanese Business Council, and Portuguese Business Council Kuwait, it offers consistent opportunities for networking and knowledge exchange.
The event is more than just a gathering; it's an occasion where seasoned executives and emerging entrepreneurs can exchange ideas, forge new connections, and rekindle existing relationships in an informal, convivial setting. This year, the event included a raffle with winners receiving gift vouchers for luxury hotel stays.
Business councils such as the Portuguese Business Council Kuwait use this occasion to promote economic and commercial ties between their home countries and Kuwait, facilitating trade, investment, and mutual business opportunities.
The success of the Inter-Council Summer Dinner stems from the enthusiasm and commitment of a diverse membership, predominantly British and Kuwaiti, but representing more than 30 nationalities. For a few hours each summer, the business of networking turns into an occasion worth savoring.
The event also provides sector-focused meetings in areas such as oil and gas, construction, finance, education, health, defense, aviation, and hospitality. The Inter-Council Summer Dinner has cemented itself as a rare intersection of community and commerce, symbolizing a unique blend of diplomacy, commerce, and socializing for the international business community in Kuwait.
