Bahrain’s push to become a regional leader in digital innovation received a boost this week as homegrown AI startup Lumofy clinched the Bahrain Digital Content Award (BDCA) 2025 in the Learning and Education category. The award, announced at a ceremony held under the patronage of His Excellency Ali bin Saleh Al Saleh, Chairman of the Shura Council, recognises outstanding digital content across the Kingdom.

Local spotlight

Lumofy was recognised for its AI-powered Talent Management Platform, which helps organisations identify, develop, and activate employee skills in alignment with evolving labour market demands. The platform’s use of artificial intelligence to streamline talent development and workforce transformation set it apart in a competitive field of nominees.

The BDCA jury credited Lumofy’s platform for its practical role in enhancing how employers approach upskilling and aligning with the national strategy for future-ready workforce development.

Founder’s vision

Founder and CEO Ahmed Faraj said the award was proof of the company’s growing influence. “Winning the Bahrain Digital Content Award (BDCA) 2025 in the Learning & Education category is a testament to the impact we are creating in the talent space,” he said. “Through our AI-powered platform, we are reshaping how organisations identify, develop, and activate their employees’ skills, while continuously enhancing the talent development experience to meet workforce expectations and drive meaningful change in the future of work.”

Mahmood Malik, Co-founder and Chief Operating Officer, added: “This recognition reflects the vision and dedication of the entire Lumofy team. It also reinforces the impact of our AI-powered talent management platform, which is built to unlock organisations’ full potential. As we continue to evolve, we remain committed to pushing boundaries.”

Digital future

The win positions Lumofy among the Kingdom’s digital pioneers at a time when Bahrain is ramping up its AI and workforce digitisation ambitions. Lumofy’s success adds to the growing list of local firms building solutions that bridge the gap between education, employment, and digital innovation.

As digital transformation gains pace across sectors, Lumofy’s recognition signals a broader shift in how Bahrain is investing in local capability to meet global challenges.
