Bahrain named host country for the Global Entrepreneurship Congress in 2019 at a top-level event at the UN HQ in NY, validating the country's setting as a business-friendly nation and an international leader in the field of entrepreneurship and business innovation.
The annual global event, hosted by countries consisting of the United States, UK, China, Italy, Brazil and Russia, brings countless business owners, investors, scientists, and policymakers from greater than 170 nations to identify brand-new methods of helping owners begin and scale new endeavors all over the world.
" We are perfectly put to host this event. With our background of proactively establishing and enacting programs made to empower Bahrainis and brand-new enterprises. The event will certainly bring together Bahrain's best and brightest business minds, to supply a platform for assumed leadership and greater cooperation between Bahrain and its global companions."

Our continual efforts in the private sector are putting Bahrain amongst one of the most advanced countries in the region, an ideal portal to the $1.6 trillion Gulf market."
