Bahrain Chamber Holds Meeting with Strategic Partners of 'Experience It' Programme
Manama The Bahrain Chamber, led by Chairman Sameer Nass, held a consultative meeting with strategic partners of this year's 'Experience It' programme. The meeting was attended by CEO of the Nasser Center for Science and Technology, Dr. Abdullah Al Noaimi, General Manager of Hope Ventures, Latifa Mohammed, and Director of Events and Programs at the Ministry of Youth Affairs, Abdulkarim Al Meer. The meeting was held at the Chamber's headquarters to finalize preparations ahead of the program's launch next week. The discussion centered on the program's mission to equip Bahraini youth with practical experience and in-demand skills, preparing them for the labor market and supporting Bahrain's sustainable development efforts. The initiative aligns with the Kingdom's national vision, led by His Majesty King Hamad bin Isa Al Khalifa and supported by His Royal Highness Prince Salman bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Crown Prince and Prime Minister. Chairman Nass expressed deep appreciation to His Highness Sheikh Nasser bin Hamad Al Khalifa, Representative of His Majesty the King for Humanitarian Work and Youth Affairs and Chairman of the Supreme Council for Youth and Sports, for his continued support. He emphasized that His Highness's guidance has played a pivotal role in advancing the program as a model for youth empowerment through experiential learning and career readiness. The fourth edition of 'Experience It' will launch next week with an expanded scope, offering training across diverse fields such as stock market fundamentals, engineering and tech innovation, artificial intelligence, cybersecurity, leadership, entrepreneurship, photography, and video production. This expansion reflects the Chamber's commitment to equipping youth with modern, market-relevant skills and opening new career pathways. The program will be delivered in two phases. The first includes a series of expert-led workshops and theoretical sessions, while the second consists of a two-week internship at private sector organizations, allowing students to apply what they've learned in real-world settings. Nass reaffirmed the Chamber's commitment to building on the program's success. He noted that over the past three editions, the initiative has empowered young Bahrainis to render their training into meaningful career steps, enhancing their competitiveness and role as contributors to national development. He also stressed the value of strong collaboration between the Chamber and its partners in delivering impactful national programs that elevate youth potential and drive economic progress. Nass commended the contributions of the partner institutions. The Nasser Center will provide specialized training in mechanical and electrical engineering, AI, and cybersecurity. Hope Ventures, in collaboration with the Ministry of Youth Affairs, will lead sessions on leadership and entrepreneurship under Youth City 2030. 'Experience It' is one of the Chamber's flagship youth initiatives, targeting high school students aged 15 to 18. By offering hands-on training in private sector companies, the program aims to spark creativity, foster innovation and entrepreneurial thinking, and guide participants toward career paths aligned with the needs of today's workforce.

Bahrain Targets Polish Gateway
TDT| Manama Bahrain is placing a bold bet on Eastern Europe, positioning itself as a Gulf gateway for Polish investors amid its long-term push to diversify beyond oil. Gateway ambitions Speaking at the Bahrain–Poland Economic Forum, His Excellency Sameer Nass, Chairman of the Bahrain Chamber, spotlighted the Kingdom's evolution into a regional hub linking the Gulf, Middle East, Africa, and Central Asia.
