Bahrain's Parliament Wins 2025 Digital Content Award for Innovation and Inclusion
The Council of Representatives (Parliament) of Bahrain has been awarded the prestigious Bahrain Digital Content Award (BDCA) 2025 in the category of Inclusion and Empowerment, in recognition of its innovative 'MP Portal' project.
The award highlights Parliament's exceptional contribution to digital innovation and its growing role in supporting Bahrain's digital transformation journey. The MP Portal, a platform designed to enhance communication and transparency between MPs and the public, was praised for its impact in driving inclusive digital services and supporting parliamentary work.
The award ceremony took place this morning at the Gulf Hotel under the patronage of the Chairman of the Shura Council. Dr. Saqr Al-Shirawi, Assistant Secretary-General for Resources and Services, received the award on behalf of Parliament. The event gathered top national leaders and experts in innovation and digital transformation.
BTECH, the Bahrain Technology Companies Society and organizer of the BDCA, stated that the award reflects the quality and real impact of the MP Portal in promoting digital empowerment, aligning with Bahrain's vision of comprehensive digital transformation.
This recognition is seen as a result of the forward-looking leadership of Parliament Speaker Ahmed bin Salman Al Musallam, whose support for cutting-edge digital initiatives has strengthened the performance and transparency of the parliamentary system.
It also celebrates the efforts of Eng. Mohammed Ibrahim Al Sisi Al Buainain, Secretary-General of Parliament, who has led the development of smart, tech-driven solutions to enhance institutional readiness and work environments.
Winning this national award reaffirms Bahrain's Parliament as a leading model in using modern technology to strengthen democratic processes and promote digital empowerment — a step that places Bahrain at the forefront of regional and international digital progress.
