Creative Industries Support 

To enhance Bahrain’s creative industries, we have partnered with specialized creative hubs that support the growth of businesses and projects while offering additional training courses, master classes, and mentorship programs to develop local talent. Some hubs also facilitate job placements for individuals in their training cohorts, connecting them to professional opportunities. These partnerships reflect Tamkeen’s commitment to fostering a thriving creative sector and positioning Bahrain as a regional leader. Ultimately, the hubs provide platforms for Bahrainis to showcase their talent and innovation, driving growth and recognition for the Kingdom’s creative economy.
