MANAMA: KPMG has launched the Bahrain edition of its Private Enterprise Tech Innovator competition in its search for ‘top tech innovators who are ready to become the next tech titans’.
The kingdom is among 16 countries where the inaugural edition of the global competition is being hosted.
Businesses at different stages of their lifecycle – from startup to accelerated growth – are invited to pitch their innovations and present their growth ambitions to panels of local and global industry experts in their bid to be recognised as a leading tech innovator.
Shortlisted businesses will be provided with exclusive networking opportunities among industry experts and other tech innovators, and winning companies will gain exposure by being featured in KPMG’s ‘Winners Report’ and media profiles.
The Tech Innovator in Bahrain, and the winner in each of the other participating countries, will progress to the Global Tech Innovator final at Web Summit 2021 in Lisbon in November, where they will be recognised on the global stage.
Harish Gopinath, partner for KPMG Enterprise at KPMG in Bahrain, said: “The technology sector in Bahrain is emerging strongly, and has been an essential contributor to the sustainability and growth of our economy. At KPMG, our aim is to support the continued growth of the top tech innovators who are driving market transformation with their innovative ideas, solutions, products and services. Whether they are tech-enabled, tech-led or tech-driven, we’re inviting them to consider this extraordinary platform opportunity to take their business to the next level.”
“The first step is very simple: participation in the KPMG Private Enterprise Tech Innovator competition to make important connections and gain recognition among some of the most trusted advisors, industry leaders and influencers in Bahrain,” he added.
