Tamkeen has been named strategic partner to Tenmou’s MENA Angel Investors Summit 2025, set for November 19 at The Diplomat Radisson Blu Hotel during Global Entrepreneurship Week (GEW) Bahrain. The organisers expect more than 300 investors, 50 startups and over 600 visitors to gather in Manama, framing a high-intent day for early-stage deal flow.

“We highly value Tamkeen’s strategic partnership in the tenth edition of this landmark event and its continued efforts to strengthen Bahrain’s entrepreneurship ecosystem by providing the essential support that empowers Bahraini entrepreneurs and showcases their success stories across regional and international platforms. Through this summit, we reaffirm our commitment to creating a platform that unites entrepreneurial vision with venture capital, fostering a culture of angel investing across the region and contributing to the advancement of innovation and sustainable economic growth.” said Suhail AlGosaibi, Chairman of Tenmou.

The 2025 edition will convene angel groups, VCs, corporate innovation teams and policy stakeholders for sessions and workshops focused on practical funding pathways, from first cheque to follow-on rounds. The timing fits the national calendar, with GEW 2025 running 17–23 November and local partners using the week to surface investable startups and cross-border co-investment opportunities.

For founders, the Tamkeen partnership signals a supportive environment for capital and capability building. Recent programme activity around market access and talent skilling has anchored Bahrain’s startup pipeline, while ecosystem events such as GITEX Global 2025’s Bahrain Pavilion showcased 14 Bahraini tech firms to international investors earlier this month. That visibility helps startups translate summit meetings into pilots and term sheets.

Investors get a concentrated look at Bahrain and GCC deal flow in one venue. With clear sector focus and curated 1:1s, the summit’s format reduces noise and helps angels compare traction across markets. Practically, expect pitches aligned to themes seen across GEW programming, and use the Diplomat Radisson Blu venue as a central base for same-day diligence meetings.

Next step for Bahrain founders and angels ahead of Nov 19: register interest via Tenmou’s summit page, finalise a crisp 10-slide deck and 120-second pitch, and line up three targeted investor meetings you want to secure on the day.
