Servable, an advanced artificial intelligence (AI) solutions platform, took first place with Loyale, an app consolidating loyalty points, coming in second at the 22nd edition of StartUp Bahrain Pitch, the kingdom’s leading national platform supporting emerging enterprises.
Supported by the Labour Fund (Tamkeen) and held in collaboration with the Industry and Commerce Ministry, the Bahrain Economic Development Board, and the Bahrain Development Bank, the pitch reinforced entrepreneurship’s role in the national economy.
Servable, which enables organisations to build complex AI solutions like automated financial reporting and predictive analytics while controlling costs, was celebrated by its founder Mohamed Al Derazi.
“We are proud to have secured first place. This victory marks a turning point, providing support that strengthens our ambitions and brings us closer to achieving our future goals,” he said.
Loyale, which centralises loyalty points from multiple retail stores, also praised the platform.
S Ahmed Al Marzooq from Loyale said: “Taking part gave us the opportunity to present our project to a distinguished panel of experts and investors and opened new channels of communication with other entrepreneurs. We extend our gratitude for the continued support.”
Five Bahraini startups pitched their businesses. Other participants included Invo Pos Technologies, a subscription-based point-of-sale (POS) system; Right Calories, a healthy meal subscription service; and BD Kidz, a digital solutions platform for kindergartens.
The judging panel featured experts and investors including Oqal Angel Investors Network investor relations lead Arwa Shafi, Tajawoz executive director and managing partner Hamad AlFahad, and Mumtalakat associate director Laith Al Khalili.
The support for the Pitch aligns with Tamkeen’s 2025 strategic priorities, focusing on enhancing Bahraini competitiveness in the private sector, upskilling the workforce, and prioritising enterprise growth, digitisation, and sustainability across the ecosystem.
