The Labour Fund (Tamkeen) announced the opening of registration for the latest edition of the Young Entrepreneur Programme (Mashroo3i 2.0).

The programme opens new horizons for young participants to explore the world of entrepreneurship and transform their viable ideas into successful business projects.

Tamkeen will support youth aged 18-35 years that have business ideas or startups by offering them extensive advisory and training support as well as the opportunity to secure grants for the finalists.

Tamkeen’s Chief Executive, Maha Mofeez, said: "Through our support, we aim to empower young talented individuals that have great potential, helping them create successful businesses that will contribute to the growth and prosperity of our economy."

This programme marks the 8th edition of the Mashroo3i ‘Youth Business Awards’, initially launched by the Labour Fund in 2012. The programme will take place over six weeks. The initial stage involves comprehensive training sessions focused on helping participants translate and build upon their business ideas.

Subsequently, an intensive advisory phase is dedicated to startups, equipping participants with the skills required to expedite the launch of their entrepreneurial projects and develop minimum viable product models.

The final stage offers around ten participants the opportunity to present their developed business models to potential investors during a demo presentation day.

4Qualified participants in the final stage will also receive grants to aid in launching their business models. Those interested in the Young Entrepreneur Programme (Mashroo3i 2.0) can apply as individuals or teams by visiting the programme page on tamkeen.bh.
