Hope Ventures, the investment arm of Hope Fund, is set to launch a first-of-its-kind in Bahrain entrepreneurial TV show “Biban”, aimed at providing local entrepreneurs with the opportunity to present promising investment opportunities to a panel of local and regional investors.

The reality TV show will provide participants with a platform to pitch their ideas to a panel of seasoned business figures, who then decide whether to invest.

Biban will feature 12 promising businesses, which will be carefully selected from hundreds of applicants, based on their traction and growth potential highlighting the caliber of ambitious business owners and investment opportunities across the Kingdom.

The show will present a transparent investment approach as investors will discuss and challenge the business opportunities, while making an investment decision in real time.

The panel of investors will showcase their industry knowledge and valuable contribution to the entrepreneurs with the aim of opening doors, or in Arabic “Biban”, for the ventures to grow and scale beyond Bahrain.

Aymen bin Tawfeeq Almoayed, Chairman of Hope Fund, said: “The investment opportunities will reflect the innovative approaches of businesses today to remain competitive and add value in high-growth, rapidly changing sectors such as F&B, retail, technology, and manufacturing.”
