The Labour Fund (Tamkeen) will support the employment of approximately 70 Bahrainis over the next three years at the Bahrain-based Arabic Digital Research Institute (ADRI), with 40 of them already employed as of date.

The majority of Tamkeen’s support is for technology related positions.

The new appointments will be facilitated through Tamkeen’s National Employment Program (NEP) and Mid-Career & Executive Leadership programme.

In addition, Tamkeen provided research and development support to the company through the Innovation Program to help with their objective to improve the availability of online scientific and research content in Arabic.

Maha Abdulhameed Mofeez, Chief Executive of the Labour Fund (Tamkeen) stressed that companies that can facilitate the exchange of information and research are an important part of Bahrain’s business ecosyste.

ADRI CEO, Ali Mazraeh said: "Tamkeen’s support will accelerate our efforts to deploy computer vision and natural language processing in addressing the limited availability of Arabic research content – a very real social issue for the MENA region.”
