The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB), in collaboration with INJAZ Bahrain, hosted the closing event of the third edition of Entaliq with INJAZ Powered by NBB, bringing together aspiring entrepreneurs, mentors and representatives from both organisations to celebrate the achievements of this year’s participants.
Designed to empower the next generation of Bahraini business leaders, Entaliq offers young entrepreneurs mentorship, practical guidance, seed funding and incubation support, alongside hands-on learning and direct access with industry experts, to help transform promising deals into viable ventures and strengthen their skills.
The latest season concluded with the 2026 Young Entrepreneurs Competition, where participating teams presented their ventures and shared the progress achieved throughout their entrepreneurial journey. The event also featured a certificate recognition ceremony honouring both participants and mentors for their contributions to the programme’s success.
“We’re proud to see Entaliq grow over three years and proving its value as a vital bridge between education and entrepreneurship in Bahrain,” said INJAZ Bahrain chairperson Shaikha Hessa bint Khalifa Al Khalifa.
“This accelerator programme allows us to invest in young founders at a critical stage, helping them build operational startups that are ready to compete in the local market. By providing the structural support necessary for these businesses to thrive, our partnership with NBB helps secure a more resilient economic future for the kingdom.”
NBB group chief executive Usman Ahmed highlighted Entaliq’s continued role in giving young entrepreneurs the platform to test their ideas and build confidence in their abilities.
“Through our partnership with INJAZ Bahrain, we are helping participants develop the practical skills, resilience and strategic thinking required to navigate today’s business landscape,” he said.
