Bahrain's brightest young innovators are set to represent the Kingdom on the regional stage in Egypt this November, after topping INJAZ Bahrain's 17th Young Entrepreneurs Competition.
Held at Crowne Plaza Bahrain, the event brought together more than 1,000 students from schools and universities nationwide, who pitched bold business ideas in a high-stakes entrepreneurial contest. Winning teams will now compete in the INJAZ Al-Arab Regional Young Entrepreneurs Competition in Cairo.
Bold ideas
The national-level contest featured 20 student-led companies formed under INJAZ Bahrain's flagship Company Programme, giving participants the chance to launch real businesses and build investor-ready products and services.
This year's edition also marked the organisation's 20th anniversary, underscoring two decades of commitment to equipping youth with business acumen and leadership skills.
Corporate support
Major Bahraini companies supported the event, with five new special awards introduced by sponsors including Alba, Tamkeen, Beyon, Bapco Energies, Basrec, bni, CrediMax, and NBB. The event also celebrated the launch of a new Company Programme series and the conclusion of the Entaliq initiative with NBB.
