Female Leader Oversees Bahrain
TDT | Manama Bahrain's role in the region's fast-expanding AI and automation landscape has received a boost with the appointment of Sara Al-Alsheikh as UiPath's Regional Vice President and Managing Director for Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. She becomes the first woman to hold this position at the global automation company, which is known for helping businesses and governments deploy software robots and AI agents to streamline complex processes. Regional push includes Bahrain The move comes as UiPath intensifies its presence across the Gulf, responding to growing demand for AI-powered tools that reduce manual workloads, improve efficiency, and accelerate digital transformation. Bahrain is expected to play a more active role in this expansion, particularly in sectors such as banking, public services, and energy, where automation is increasingly reshaping internal operations. Al-Alsheikh, who is based in Riyadh, will lead client engagement and growth strategy across Bahrain, Kuwait, and Saudi Arabia. She brings over a decade of experience from major global firms including HP, IBM, and SAP, and has worked with Gulfbased clients on large-scale technology deployments. Her appointment marks a milestone not just for UiPath but for the region's tech leadership landscape. As part of her mandate, Al-Alsheikh will guide the rollout of UiPath's agentic automation platform, which combines AI and human collaboration to automate everything from finance workflows to citizen services. 'My mission is to help our clients reimagine how work gets done faster, smarter, and more autonomously,' she said, describing the company's software as a core driver of innovation across public and private sectors. Focus on Bahrain's opportunity With Bahrain included in her portfolio, attention now turns to how local institutions will respond to this regional push. While UiPath has a relatively low profile in Bahrain compared to Saudi Arabia, its software is already in use globally by governments and Fortune 500 firms to automate operations and reduce administrative bottlenecks. Al-Alsheikh's appointment is expected to support local adoption, particularly if awareness-building and training are embedded in the expansion strategy. Her leadership reflects broader Vision 2030 goals shared across the Gulf, which emphasise both digital transformation and gender inclusion.

Bahrain Builds Crypto Hub
TDT | Manama As Bitcoin rebounds globally, Bahrain is quietly building its own digital gold rush. Supported by progressive regulation and hightech infrastructure, the Kingdom is emerging as a serious contender in the global cryptocurrency mining market, and one Bahraini firm says it is only the beginning. Rising global role Crypto Miners, a company specialising in the sale, installation, and maintenance of mining equipment, says the sector's growing momentum within Bahrain is helping reinforce the Kingdom's position as a competitive regional hub with global potential. The company believes this development is also drawing more foreign direct investment into Bahrain's digital economy. 'Bahrain's financial ecosystem and regulatory clarity give us the ability to grow sustainably and export our services abroad,' said Wassim Saaduddin, Technical Sales Manager at Crypto Miners. He added that the Kingdom is uniquely placed to serve as a launchpad for international crypto operations, thanks to its policy stability and infrastructure. Infrastructure and awareness At the core of Crypto Miners' strategy is a vision to localise this high-tech industry, building critical infrastructure , training Bahraini talent , and supporting knowledge transfer. The company also sees awareness as essential to sustainable sector growth, and says it actively runs public engagement campaigns to help familiarise Bahrainis with digital currencies and blockchain. 'As part of our corporate social responsibility, we're committed to raising awareness about digital assets and creating safe, reliable investment pathways,' Saaduddin noted. Aligned with national vision Crypto Miners says its longterm efforts are in full alignment with Bahrain's Economic Vision 2030, which prioritises innovation, digital transformation, and sustainable growth. The company believes that positioning Bahrain as a regional and global leader in crypto mining is not only realistic, but already in progress. With firms like Crypto Miners anchoring the sector, Bahrain appears to be gaining traction in a space once dominated by much larger economies.
