AI & Bahrain

Artificial Intelligence (AI) is playing an increasingly important role in Bahrain, with the government and private sector embracing the technology to drive innovation and economic growth.

In 2019, Bahrain launched its National Artificial Intelligence Strategy, which aims to position the country as a regional leader in AI by 2022. The strategy focuses on developing a strong AI ecosystem, fostering partnerships with international AI companies, and promoting AI research and development.

The Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB) has also been actively promoting AI in the country, supporting startups and companies in the AI sector, and organizing events and initiatives to raise awareness about the potential of AI.

Bahrain is also home to the Bahrain FinTech Bay, a leading fintech hub in the Middle East that includes a dedicated AI lab. The lab provides startups and companies with access to AI tools, resources, and expertise to develop innovative solutions for the financial services industry.

Overall, Bahrain is positioning itself as a hub for AI innovation in the region, with a strong commitment to developing the technology and leveraging its potential to drive economic growth and competitiveness.
