Reboot Coding Institute (Reboot01), a leading coding institute in Bahrain, and Raincode (raincode.tech), a Scandinavian software solutions provider, announced a strategic partnership yesterday at the Bahrain Pavilion, powered by Tamkeen, on the sidelines of GITEX Global in Dubai.
This collaboration signifies a major step forward in reinforcing Bahrain’s position as a growing hub for tech innovation in the Mena region, with Reboot01 playing a pivotal role in attracting Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) to the kingdom through international partnerships.
As part of this venture, Raincode will establish its developer hub in Bahrain to foster seamless interaction and collaboration between the two tech companies. The Swedish office of Raincode will focus on sales and marketing, further strengthening this collaboration.
This agreement follows the success of a five-month pilot programme, during which Reboot01 talents worked closely with one of Raincode’s Scandinavian clients. A key component of this partnership is the introduction of an internship-to-employment program specifically designed for Reboot graduates. Through the Raincode Talent Hub, students will have the opportunity to work Part-Time on real-world projects for Scandinavian firms, starting with an internship stipend of BD400 per month. Successful candidates will transition into full-time roles upon graduation, with Raincode aiming to hire 80 developers from Reboot Coding Institute by the end of 2025 and 250 developers by the end of 2028. Graduates from the Reboot01 programme, including fresh university graduates, can expect starting salaries exceeding BD1,000 if they join Raincode.
“We are thrilled to announce this strategic partnership with Raincode, which will cultivate a strong pool of Bahraini tech talent while integrating their skills with the dynamic Scandinavian work culture to meet the growing demands of the market,” said Yanal Jallad, managing director of Reboot Coding Institute. “By joining forces with Raincode, we are leveraging our strengths to provide unmatched opportunities for our talents and foster innovation in the tech sector. Our comprehensive two-year programme consistently produces high-quality, mid-senior level coders who surpass industry benchmarks.”
Connor de Freene, managing director of Raincode Bahrain, commented: “We’re delighted to partner with the Reboot Coding Institute. Their exceptional talent was a significant factor in our decision to establish Bahrain as our developer hub. Having worked closely with their graduates for months, we’ve been consistently impressed by their skills and dedication.”
Musab Abdullah, executive director of Business Development for the ICT sector at Bahrain EDB, stated: “Bahrain EDB is thrilled to see this partnership between Reboot Coding Institute and Raincode.
“This collaboration perfectly exemplifies Bahrain’s advantages to tech companies with a focus on fostering a skilled and tech-savvy talent pool. As demonstrated by Reboot01’s impressive results, it creates an ideal environment for innovation and growth.”
