Bahrain Development Bank (BDB) Group has signed up as a banking partner for the third annual Tamkeen Business Quiz Show, which is being held in order to promote awareness of key industry sectors in the kingdom.

The event is being organised by Bahrain's labour fund Tamkeen and FinMark Communications.
