DFCC Pinnacle Junior recently sponsored the first-ever Gateway National interschool Robotics Championship for Local and international Schools, further cementing DFCC Bank’s commitment to education and innovation. Approximately 25 schools across the island participated in this prestigious competition, highlighting the growing interest and talent in robotics among young students. DFCC Pinnacle is the highest-tier premium banking experience provided by DFCC Bank PLC, featuring a range of bespoke banking solutions tailored for its most discerning customers.
As the Banking Partner for the Gateway National Robotics Championship, DFCC Pinnacle Junior helped to foster a culture of innovation and critical thinking among students. By providing a platform for young minds to explore robotics, this partnership aligns with DFCC Pinnacle Junior’s goal of nurturing talent and inspiring lifelong learning. The robotics competition thus provided a platform for students to highlight their creativity and problem-solving abilities, fostering a spirit of healthy competition and encouraging students to push their boundaries. By working together, DFCC Bank and Gateway College demonstrate the potential for progress through collaboration in pursuing a prosperous future for Sri Lanka.
Commenting on the partnership, Shera Hassan, Head of Pinnacle/Branch Banking Planning, and Implementation Vice President said, “We believe in empowering the next generation through education and innovation. By supporting events like the Gateway National Robotics Championship, we are investing in the future leaders of Sri Lanka and encouraging them to reach new heights. Accordingly, these are investments into the future of our nation as we look towards fostering a vibrant talent pool and many opportunities for growth, success, and fulfilment.”
