Hello, EShip Community It is time again for another of our monthly meetups that focus on Economic Sustainability through Community-Led Development. Entrepreneurship (EShip) is both the study of how new businesses are created as well as the actual process of starting a new business - the term is used interchangeably Economic Sustainability Policymakers often report that small business is the employment engine of the economy. New and emerging companies are the primary sources of job creation. Not only that, but these firms also contribute to economic dynamism and community empowerment by injecting competition into markets, spurring local innovation and sustainability. Community-Led Development Fostering an environment where people connect through common interests and work together to overcome challenges is a major factor in developing general wellbeing and good governance within a community. Good governance guides are an essential part of every Local Government Authority and are an integral part of the policy framework within which local authorities work and deliver services to the communities that they represent and serve. Connect too likeminded people in your Local Government Authority (Council)  This is a relaxed networking event for people with ideas, seeking community validation. Each participant has a chance to network, introducing themselves and their ideas or projects to the other attendees. Look forward to seeing you there...... Want to learn more?

Shaikh Khaled bin Humood Al Khalifa, participated in a panel discussion which revolved around the significance of the tourism sector and how it has become a major contributor to the national economy due to the recent developments aimed at enhancing the Kingdom's position as a leading destination for hosting meetings, exhibitions, conferences and incentives (MICE).  “The Kingdom is also witnessing further enhancement to its tourism infrastructure, contributing 6.8% to the country’s non-oil GDP. Bahrain welcomed a total of 12.7 million tourists in 2017 which affirms the significant role of the sector in the Kingdom’s economic diversification efforts,” said the CEO of BTEA, H.E. Shaikh Khaled bin Humood Al Khalifa. “The BTEA's strategy focuses on developing the Kingdom’s unique tourism products and experiences. We are currently working on several plans to develop new beach fronts and public beaches including the development of Bahrain Bay, Diving Centre, the Hospitality and Culinary institutes, the Galali beach project and Al Muturith Island. The launch of the new exhibition and conference centre will positively impact various sectors, furthering strengthening the Kingdom’s position on the world tourism map,” he added. The Global Entrepreneurship Congress will be hosted in the Kingdom of Bahrain in April 2019, opening up new opportunities for regional and global businesses to enhance experience sharing, seek investment opportunities and boost cooperation. GEC brings together thousands of entrepreneurs, investors, researchers, policymakers and other startup businesses from more than 170 countries to identify new ways of helping founders start and scale new ventures around the world.
