A one-day conference aimed at exposing students and graduates to business activities was held to mark Entrepreneurs Day.

Various interactive workshops conducted by businessmen and trainers provided them with insights into the activities and roles of organisations and people who are in the forefront of entrepreneurship development in Bahrain.

It was organised by AIESEC in partnership with Bahrain Development Bank and Tamkeen. GPIC was the gold sponsor and Chevron silver sponsor.

Bahrain Development Bank CEO Nedhal Al Aujan addressed the 20 young people highlighting the role of the Bahrain Development Bank in youth development.

He highlighted a series of innovative programmes held by the bank geared towards empowering the nation's young and directing their energies for the growth of Bahrain, while working in line with the Bahrain Economic Vision 2030.

AIESEC vice-president Abdur Rehman Mohammed said: "It is one of AIESECs organisational values and beliefs that developing individuals is the most sustainable way to have an impact on the world around us. AIESEC is the international platform for young people to explore and develop their leadership potential offering them the opportunity to go out and make a difference in the world around them. AIESEC strongly believes in the vision 2030 and is striving to develop local leaders who will make it come true."
