Over 10 commercial agreements were signed between Bahraini firms and their regional and international counterparts at Gitex 2021, which closed last month.

Besides, many activities took place at the Bahraini National Pavilion at Gitex this year, including the reception of official delegations from Belgium, Pakistan, Jordan, and the Dubai Digital Government. On the margins of the exhibition, a variety of lectures and conversation sessions were organised.

This year’s participation included the Economic Development Board, 20 start-up companies, three universities, Benefit company, and major sponsorship from Alba and Batelco.

For the 15th year in a row, the Labour Fund Tamkeen, in strategic collaboration with the Bahrain Society for Technology Companies BTECH and WorkSmart for event management, organised the Kingdom of Bahrain’s annual participation in Gitex.

The Bahraini participants in Gitex were able to accomplish several objectives, including maintaining close contact with customers and partners, better understanding the challenges of digital transformation and ways to speed up recovery from Corona, and updating visitors about their companies’ latest products and services in the ICT industry.

On this occasion, Hussein Mohamed Rajab, CEO of Tamkeen Labour Fund, highlighted the growth potential provided by using specialised technology solutions for institutions in many industries.  He stated that institutions must invest in creative solutions to enable them expand and sustain their operations in order to stay up with current and future challenges.

“Tamkeen’s strategies have always included supporting digital transformation and promoting innovation. We will continue to build on this by working to develop Tamkeen programmes and services, which play a critical role in enhancing company performance and generating opportunities that lead to increased productivity and national economic contribution,” said Rajab.
