A memorandum of cooperation has been signed between the
country’s first bank, Kapital Bank, and Azerbaijan’s first
university, Baku State University. With this agreement, Kapital
Bank has laid the foundation for another strategic partnership with
a higher education institution. The signing ceremony was attended
by Board Member and First Deputy Chairman of the Board of Kapital
Bank Javid Mirzayev and rector of Baku State University Elchin
Babayev.


Speaking at the event, Javid Mirzayev described the cooperation
as a historic milestone. According to him, for the country’s first
bank it is particularly important to formally elevate its
partnership with Baku State University, an institution with a long
standing and rich academic history, to a broader level. Supporting
education is one of the key and strategic pillars of Kapital Bank’s
corporate social responsibility. Experience shows that such
partnerships enable students to gain practical knowledge, acquire
skills essential for their future careers, and enter the labor
market better prepared. At the same time, the bank gains the
opportunity to work with young professionals who are ready to
operate in a modern corporate environment. Currently, 748 graduates
of Baku State University are employed at the bank, 68 of whom hold
managerial positions. These figures clearly demonstrate that BSU
graduates are also highly successful professionals in the financial
sector. Javid Mirzayev expressed confidence that combining BSU’s
educational methodology with Kapital Bank’s practical experience
will create a broader platform for youth development.


Rector Elchin Babayev, in turn, emphasized that this cooperation
will have a positive impact on preparing students to enter the
labor market as qualified professionals. He noted that one of the
university’s key priorities is strengthening ties between
universities, employers, and business entities. Cooperation with
Kapital Bank will open new opportunities for students on their path
to a successful career. The partnership includes experience
sharing, training sessions delivered by the bank’s professional
staff, and their involvement in the academic process. As a result,
these initiatives will help students secure more stable positions
in a competitive labor market.


Following the signing ceremony, the opening of the “Kapital
Bank” room at Baku State University took place. The space is
equipped with modern technologies and equipment and meets
contemporary standards. During the event, bank employees who are
BSU graduates and members of Kapital Bank’s management team shared
their impressions and expressed confidence in the practical value
of the partnership.

support initiatives, has already established “Kapital Bank” rooms
at the Azerbaijan State University of Economics, Azerbaijan State
Oil and Industry University, Azerbaijan Technological University,
and Baku Engineering University. These spaces regularly host
projects aimed at supporting students’ professional and personal
development.
