The Labour Fund (Tamkeen) has announced it will organise the Bahrain Pavilion at the 2025 Gitex Global Exhibition, one of the world’s largest international tech events, taking place in Dubai from Monday to Friday next week.
The Pavilion is set to feature 14 Bahraini startups and small and medium enterprises (SMEs) from across the ICT sector, alongside the Economic Development Board (EDB) and Array Innovations.
Participation in Gitex Global offers Bahraini enterprises a critical platform to showcase their projects to global visitors. The event is designed to help these businesses expand their customer base, connect with potential partners and investors, explore growth opportunities, and exchange knowledge with international experts.
This support aims to boost the sustainability and productivity of these businesses, strengthening their impact on the national economy and enhancing their capacity to generate quality employment opportunities for Bahraini talent.
Bahraini companies achieved notable success at last year’s exhibition, attracting significant interest from visitors. This resulted in seven agreements being signed between participating Bahraini enterprises and regional and international companies.
Tamkeen’s support for Bahraini companies taking part in Gitex Global 2025 aligns with its 2025 strategic priorities, which focus on enhancing the position and competitiveness of Bahrainis in the private sector, equipping Bahrainis with suitable skills for career development in the private sector, and prioritising enterprise growth, digitalisation and sustainability, and supporting the development of the ecosystem surrounding the labour market and private sector.
