In line with the Kingdom’s commitment to create a digital economy and fuel the region’s digital future, the Bahrain Institute for Banking & Finance (BIBF) introduced its first ‘Technopreneurship’ Programme, through an exciting workshop at the first day of MENA’s most exciting innovation festival, Unbound Bahrain, which took place on 6 & 7 March at Bahrain’s National Theatre in Manama.

To start in June 2019, the BIBF Technopreneurship programme is targeted at Startups, SMEs and creative individuals who aim to learn the knowledge and skills that will prepare them to start their Technopreneurship journey.
