Introduction: The Rise of Video in Kuwait's B2B LinkedIn Landscape

Kuwait's B2B sector is at an inflection point. With Vision 2035 driving diversification into tech, renewables, logistics, and finance, companies are vying for partnerships with government entities, multinationals, and regional players. LinkedIn, with its 1+ billion professionals, is the battleground where these connections are forged. But in 2026, success hinges on video content.

Why? Videos capture attention in crowded feeds, convey complex ideas simply, and build trust faster than text.
