thp – This is a revolution of women leaders, reshaping the face of business and innovation in Bahrain with the promise of an exciting future driven by vision, experience, and entrepreneurial potential of Bahraini women. Rather than merely shattering glass ceilings, they are establishing a generation by business know-how and entrepreneurial drive.
Women are taking over the show in the kingdom industry by industry—start-up tech and fintech, medicine, and renewable energy. Women in Bahrain are developing new products that function locally but compete internationally, all on the back of a growing ecosystem fueling economic inclusion and gender equality.
Programs such as the Bahrain Businesswomen’s Society and Tamkeen have also contributed by placing the focus on women’s capacity building in terms of training, mentorship, and business finance for women solely. This enabler system is creating space where there is innovativeness as well as inclusiveness.
Inspiring role models like Dr. Hala Al Ansari, CEO of C5 Nebula, and entrepreneur Fadwa Al-Tamimi, who is co-founder of a number of successful startups, demonstrate how Bahraini women are leveraging education and the latest technology in attempting to build successful businesses. These women are the epitome of determination, innovation, and capability to be productive assets to the Bahrain economy.
Aside from this, increasingly, Bahraini women at the level of business executive leadership—banking, telecommunications, and ministries—are leading a new revolution. Executive suites and boards are being diversified by virtue of foreign pressure for gender diversity and improved corporate governance.
Not only a win for women, it’s an economic and social win for Bahrain as well. Time and time again, multicultural societies of men and women have been shown to be forces for profitability and innovation, and Bahrain’s open arms to female leaders are setting the kingdom first as a model of change for the region.
With the country prospering, women business owners and the Bahrain business climate are at the forefront—a clarion of empowerment, hope, and prosperity for everyone.
