Bahrain’s Pavilion at GITEX Global 2025 opened today in Dubai with steady footfall and early meetings on the floor. The presence runs from October 13 to 17 and anchors Bahrain’s week inside the world’s largest tech and AI show, as listed on GITEX Global.

The Pavilion is organized by Tamkeen, which confirmed the launch and focus areas in a fresh Tamkeen announcement. The update highlights on-site momentum and frames GITEX as a platform to win customers, partners, and pilots for Bahraini teams.

This year’s edition brings scale that matters for founders. The organizer preview noted over 6,800 companies from 180 countries, plus the 10th anniversary of Expand North Star, which adds density for investor and enterprise matchmaking. For teams from Bahrain, that is a full week of buyer discovery in one venue.

Bahrain’s Pavilion showcases 14 startups and SMEs alongside agency partners. Exhibitors include Procural, Oreem, Invo POS, Palm Stays, MenaMoney Technology, VirtuThinko, RemoteApps, AMAN Compliance Solutions, ATME, Lumofy, Al Amthal Group, General Assembly, Mazad, and Arab Financial Services, with the Bahrain Economic Development Board, the Information & eGovernment Authority, and ARRAY Innovation supporting the national presence. The full roster and Pavilion context were detailed in the Tamkeen update and the official event release shared with media.

Local media have already flagged the agencies on site. Coverage by News of Bahrain confirmed iGA’s participation under the Kingdom of Bahrain banner, alongside the Economic Development Board and Pavilion companies. That alignment helps founders who want to pair product demos with policy or ecosystem introductions during the week.

GITEX compresses discovery cycles. Startups can meet distributors before lunch and an enterprise buyer after the afternoon keynote. With Tamkeen curating the Pavilion and agencies like EDB and iGA present, teams can move from a booth conversation to a real pilot plan in a single day. The density also means Bahraini founders can benchmark pricing, validate partner interest, and capture live feedback that sharpens Q4 roadmaps.

Use the Tamkeen announcement to identify exhibitors to meet, then plan your route through the halls via GITEX Global. If you sell into government or regulated sectors, add touchpoints with iGA and EDB at the Pavilion so you can map procurement paths while your product is still on the demo screen.
