Empowering Exporters for Digital Success
The E-Commerce Facilitation program comes with a set of clear objectives aimed at empowering Bahraini exporters in the digital era.

A New Era of Global Trade with Alibaba Partnership
In a groundbreaking move, Export Bahrain has partnered with Alibaba, leading platform for global business-to-business (B2B) e-commerce, to boost global trade and enhance its E-Commerce Facilitation solution, marking the first time such an initiative is happening in Bahrain. This collaboration significantly boosts Export Bahrain’s mission to promote local products internationally, providing Bahraini businesses with unprecedented access to one of the world’s largest e-commerce platforms.
This partnership with Alibaba supports Export Bahrain’s objectives by enabling local businesses to tap into Alibaba’s vast global network, providing a streamlined process for listing products, ensuring compliance with international standards, and offering Bahraini exporters enhanced visibility and increased opportunities for global sales.
