Ooredoo Kuwait has won in the following categories; “Innovation in Business Information Apps”, “Innovation in Customer Service Management, Planning & Practice”, and “Achievement in Growth”.

The Gold Stevie Award® for “Innovation in Business Information Apps” category was awarded in recognition of the company’s My Ooredoo application.

Customers can pay their bills or recharge multiple lines at once, check their pack usage and balance, activate their Nojoom account and keep track of their points, activate several digital services and buy e-vouchers and more.

The Silver Stevie Award® for “Achievement in Growth” category was in specific recognition of Ooredoo Kuwait’s milestones in business, technology and digital services in the telecommunications sector. Ooredoo has won numerous awards for providing an exceptional customer experience in the past, and today, Ooredoo is definitely thrilled to add this award to its portfolio. For years, Ooredoo Kuwait has maintained its success and even achieved growth by exploring new innovative techniques to conduct business efficiently, allowing it to reach new markets, expand its product and service portfolio, and expand the competencies of its human resources.

Among the most important of these achievements are the launching of eSIM on its network as the first telecom operator to offer this service in Kuwait and one of the first in the region, launching the 5G in mid-2018 providing a superior 5G experience and improving its network capabilities, followed by the first international 5G video call in the MENA region between Ooredoo Kuwait and Ooredoo Qatar. These important steps comes in tandem with the company’s digital transformation strategy and affirming its leadership in digitalization in Kuwait, in addition to providing its customers a full-fledged and unique digital experience.

Ooredoo Kuwait also received a bronze Stevie Award® for “Innovation in Customer Service Management, Planning & Practice - Telecommunications Industries” category. The company's most important achievements represented in completing 1000 days of launching its state of the art data center with zero downtime since its launch in 2017.
