Royal University for Women (RUW) and Bahrain Businesswomen Society (BBS) signed a Memorandum of Understanding to provide students with skills and knowledge necessary for business and entrepreneurship.

The partnership aims to enhance the startup ecosystem in Bahrain, nurture entrepreneurial skills and provide a platform through which participants can exchange knowledge, experiences and ideas.

The BBS was established in 2000 in Bahrain under the provisions of the Law of Societies, Social Clubs, and Cultural and Private Institutions working with youth, sports, and private institutions.

Through this partnership, students will be provided with tools, resources and knowledge to start businesses and develop through equipping them with the fundamentals of entrepreneurship, as well as facilitating joint dialogues on entrepreneurship.

The MoU between RUW and BBS incorporates holding joint events, workshops and a series of lectures on campus.

 Professor Yusra Mouzughi, RUW president, said that the signing of the memorandum is part of the university’s goals in empowering women with the necessary education, training and enhancing their involvement in the labour market, through cooperation with various community institutions, including the BBS, to support women with their entrepreneurial skills.

This will be implemented through workshops and training courses that the two parties will work to organise in the next phase.
