The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB), in partnership with INJAZ Bahrain, has officially launched the third season of Entaliq, a strategic initiative designed to accelerate the growth of the Kingdom’s next generation of entrepreneurs.
Building on the success of its previous editions, the program will continue to provide young innovators with structured mentorship, seed funding, and crucial incubation support to transform their scalable business ideas into viable ventures.
A Partnership for Economic Growth
The Entaliq program is a cornerstone of the strong partnership between NBB and INJAZ Bahrain. Both organisations have demonstrated a long-term commitment to fostering youth-led innovation and making a sustainable contribution to Bahrain’s economic landscape.
The initiative aligns with NBB’s broader efforts in youth empowerment, supporting programs that cultivate essential entrepreneurial skills and drive economic development within the Kingdom.
Structured Support for Emerging Innovators
Participants in the Entaliq program will receive over 20 hours of hands-on learning and professional coaching. The curriculum is structured to connect aspiring founders with a network of industry experts and mentors who will provide practical guidance to help them refine and operationalise their business concepts.
The comprehensive support system aims to equip teams with the necessary tools and knowledge to navigate the challenges of the early-stage startup journey.
Competitive Path to Incubation
The launch event gathered representatives from NBB, INJAZ Bahrain leadership, educational partners, and the program’s latest cohort. Following a competitive selection process, only the most committed teams will advance to the mentorship and incubation phases. This selective approach ensures that resources are concentrated on high-potential ventures, maximizing the impact for both the participants and the wider business community.
