“Celebrating Diversity ”

It’s been a year now since we first started our journey with the very first issue of BEntrepreneur. It all began with a vision to create the first and only go-to print media resource for businesses in the Kingdom, we took roads frequented as well as those less travelled, revived old and yet popular issues and likewise explored new challenges: “success stories”, “women entrepreneurs”, “enterprising lifestyles”, “business infrastructures”, “fin-tech”, digital generation”, “youth education”, and for our anniversary issue, “celebrating diversity”.

It’s a celebratory theme fit for an anniversary year. Bahrain has a flourishing landscape of small businesses in every industry.

A cultural heritage bred by the Kingdom’s unique traditional crafts and industries, a tangible expression of national identity and local pride. Today, the sector is comprised of a rich diversity of world-class homegrown enterprises representing diverse products and services, demonstrating prolific creative skills as well as business acumen.

Consistent to when we started, we’d like to hear their stories– how they began, their trade secrets, formulas to success and how they intend to scale to the next level. For anyone who is engaged in or aspires to start in the sector, BEntrepreneur offers interesting perspectives from its drivers, startups or
otherwise.

From generation to generation the platforms are evolving and yet the challenges and abundant opportunities remain. From day one to our first anniversary, we stand by our commitment ‘to provide inspiration to startups and entrepreneurship in Bahrain’. A salute to Year One!
