NBO Promotes Science And Culture With Trip To Expo 2020 Dubai

National Bank of Oman (NBO), in collaboration with the Ministry of Culture, Sports and Youth, has sent 25 science students and those working in the field to the Oman Pavilion at Expo 2020 Dubai. The trip was organised to mark the International Day of Education on 24th January and the International Day of Women and Girls in Science on 11th February. With participants carefully selected due to their potential, the trip provided them with the opportunity to engage in various cultural and educational activities, part of an ever-increasing number of initiatives through which the bank is supporting and empowering Oman’s next generation.
NBO’s role does not stop at offering innovative banking solutions, but extends through its values as a community-focused organization. Working closely with its partners and the government, it channels support on a wide range of enriching social and educational initiatives. Outward Bound Oman, the Youth Awards, and the Hackathon, are all reflective of the bank’s dynamic and innovative culture and its commitment to empowering local talent and positioning Oman as a future-ready economy.
