Spring has rebranded as a single venture and innovation platform that unites founder support, venture building, ecosystem design, strategic partnerships, and access to capital under one name. The move consolidates Spring Venture Services and Spring Studios and was announced on October 6, 2025, with details on investors and operating pillars.

Backed by partners and investors including Salica Investments, Faraday Investments, and Bahrain’s Al Waha Fund of Funds, Spring says it will provide credibility, resources, and connectivity across MENA. The platform will operate through five interconnected pillars: Capital, Capability, Ecosystem, Partnerships, and Network, creating a single front door for founders and institutions.

Managing Director Zainab Khamis said: “At Spring, we power what is next for founders, industries, and innovation ecosystems. We began by building ventures hands-on but quickly saw that while capital is abundant, investable, ready-to-scale startups are rare. That is the gap we are closing. As a full innovation platform, we design accelerators, manage funds, build startups, and run national programs to turn bold ideas into real outcomes. Innovation doesn’t fail for lack of ideas; it fails when ideas can’t be executed. We make innovation executable and are committed to lasting impact across the region.”

The announcement arrives as national agencies ramp up founder-facing activity. The Labour Fund Tamkeen is fielding Bahrain’s pavilion at GITEX Global 2025 this week, connecting startups to international buyers and investors. Alongside Tamkeen, the Economic Development Board is a frequent partner across venture programs and capital attraction. A unified Spring platform could help founders translate these opportunities into investable, execution-ready ventures, with mentors, enterprise partners, and policy interfaces under one roof.

For founders, the immediate signal is practical: if your challenge is less about ideas and more about building repeatable capability, Spring’s model points to structured support that spans accelerators, co-building, and fund management. For investors, the presence of Al Waha and global backers suggests an on-ramp to vetted deal flow in Bahrain. For ecosystem teams, the five-pillar approach offers templates for national programs that blend capital with operating know-how, which aligns with the steady push to grow the Kingdom’s startup economy documented.

Bahraini founders should map current needs against Spring’s five pillars, then tap Tamkeen’s GITEX touchpoints this week to test customer demand and partner interest before booking a follow-up with Spring’s team via their new platform channels.
