Bahrain has built a supportive infrastructure and community that local and international startups can directly benefit from. This is evident in the growing network of investors and venture capital, incubators, accelerators and workspaces; startup events, supporting entities and corporates. Leading in the region in doing business, the friendliness of doing business in Bahrain only comes second to the warmth of its people. Coworking in Manama is the trend most appreciated by the curious minds that promote a different working approach and innovation in different business branches. The culture of sharing ideas, and, eventually, a workspace, is a widely-spread practise in the city with a vast and talented pool of young entrepreneurs. Regularly, Manama hosts the Seedstars’ summits, which are attended by the local entrepreneurs, students and graduates, as well as the major players in the funding area. Joining this event, individual entrepreneurs have the possibility to communicate with the venture capitalists and explain why their startups are worth receiving investments. Coworking spaces in Manama serve as bright alternative workspace solutions to a monotonous office scene for the local employees who work and live in the financial centre of the city. These venues have given intrepid souls the space to get creative and innovative in their professional spheres.
