stc Bahrain has opened registration for its successful InspireU program, an accelerator designed to empower local entrepreneurs and transform innovative ideas into thriving businesses. The program, which has been a driving force for digital startups in the region, is encouraging Bahraini startups to apply and take their ideas to new heights.
Launched in Saudi Arabia in 2015 and later expanding to Kuwait and Bahrain, the InspireU program has supported over 130 digital projects and attracted investments exceeding 1 billion Saudi Riyals. With a market value of over 15 billion Saudi Riyals, the program has created more than 660,000 job opportunities and impacted over 50 million users globally.
Last year, the program’s bootcamp discovered three Bahraini startups—Rizq, Siin, and Verrt—offering groundbreaking solutions in B2B finance, e-commerce, and advertising. These startups received financial support, logistical assistance, expert consulting, and training from top Silicon Valley professionals.
Entrepreneurs interested in applying for this year’s program can find more details and access the application form on stc Bahrain’s official website.
