Tenmou, Bahrain’s first ‘Business Angels’ organisation, in strategic partnership with the Economic Development Board, kick-started the celebrations of the Global Entrepreneurship Week 2014 at a networking dinner reception which was held at the Awal Ballroom, Gulf Hotel, recently.  

Sami Jalal, chairman of Tenmou, officially inaugurated the GEW 2014 and Hasan Haider, chief executive officer highlighted the significance of building and strengthening the entrepreneurial ecosystem around the world and in particular, Bahrain.

“We are proud to be the organisers of 2014 Global Entrepreneurship Week and position Bahrain as one among the 150 countries celebrating this global event. At Tenmou, our strategic objective is to inspire, support and nurture the budding entrepreneurs and events such as GEW provide an excellent platform to engage in entrepreneurial activity while connecting with potential collaborators, mentors and even investors,” said Jalal.

“We are grateful to all our strategic partners for extending their support to bolster the next generation of enterprising talent to help them pursue their dreams and further strengthen Bahrain’s entrepreneurial ecosystems,” he said.
