More than 1,000 students from across the kingdom participated in INJAZ Bahrain’s annual flagship Company Programme.
The initiative is designed to equip students with practical skills and hands-on experience in entrepreneurship. This year’s qualifiers featured 48 high school teams and 30 university teams. A panel of eight judges from the public and private sectors evaluated them on overall company performance, business execution, product development, and learning outcomes.
The high school judging panel included industry leaders Anas AlArayadh from Tamkeen, Aida AlMudaifa from Early Riser, Aysha AlQaud from Kuwait Finance House and Mahmood Bucheery from STC Bahrain.
Meanwhile, the university track was assessed by Kamal Haider from Ebrahim K Kanoo, Mohamed Allaith from Bank of Bahrain and Kuwait, Nayla Matter from the Industry and Commerce Ministry and Zainab Al Matrook from Export Bahrain.
A total of 10 teams from each track will qualify for the National Company Competition in June.
“The event is a powerful testament to the talent, ambition, and entrepreneurial mindset of Bahrain’s youth,” INJAZ Bahrain chairperson Shaikha Hessa bint Khalifa Al Khalifa said.
“The level of innovation and execution demonstrated by the students this year has been truly impressive. We extend our sincere appreciation to our partners at Tamkeen for their continued support in empowering the next generation of business leaders, and we look forward to seeing the qualified teams compete at the national level,” she added.
