Youth entrepreneurial Initiative launched in Bahrain

A Youth Entrepreneurial Development Initiative is launched to inspire Bahraini Youth towards their entrepreneurial aspirations, as part of Manama Entrepreneurship Week (MEW) events. The initiative includes a launch workshop whereby participants will be forming their individual development plan, followed by a series of workshops and functions. The initiative will include a one-year mentorship programme whereby each participant will be paired with a business and community leader. The MEW events will be held under the patronage of Shaikh Hisham bin Abdulrahman Al Khalifa, the Governor of the Capital Governorate, from October 21 to 25.

Co-Founder of the Initiative, Mohammed Al Haddad said, “This Initiative aims at enabling and expanding capabilities of Bahraini youth to compete in the International entrepreneurial sphere, transforming young people from job seekers to job creators, who build and support sustainable and transparent enterprises, and achieving the vision of Bahrain 2030.”

He added that the Initiative will be a valuable asset for those wishing to pursue development themselves and explore their entrepreneurial aspirations. The launch workshop will be conducted by the initiative Co-Founder Christiane Saba, who is an international expert in socio-economic development and youth empowerment, consulting for international institutions, local governmental institutes and NGO’s.
