BCCI unveils guidebook to help youth start business

MANAMA: The Bahrain Chamber of Commerce and Industry (BCCI) has launched a guidebook aimed at empowering the youth in their business endeavours and fostering a culture of innovation and entrepreneurship.

Titled Iqlaa, the guide is available on the chamber’s website and mobile application in Arabic and English.

The reference document contains comprehensive information on programmes and institutions that offer support to entrepreneurs.

It comprises four main chapters: Virtual commercial registration, Incubators and business accelerators, Entities and associations that support SMEs and Financial entities that support SMEs.

Speaking about the initiative, Bahrain Chamber’s chief executive Shaker Al Shater said the Iqlaa booklet is a fundamental guidebook for all who wish to start a business.

“Entrepreneurs and startups may not be aware of the many government and private organisations and banks that offer services and programmes for them, hence the need for this comprehensive guidebook,” he added.

“We believe in the potential of the youth, and aspire to encourage them to venture in the market and turn their ideas into successful businesses.”
