In a vibrant gathering in Manama on February 27, Minister of Industry and Commerce Abdulla bin Adel Fakhro met with Dr. Fatema Abduljabbar Al Kooheji, Chairman of the Bahrain Businesswomen Society, alongside several prominent Society members. The event, marking the election of a new Board of Directors and the formation of the Council, was a celebration of Bahrain’s commitment to fostering gender equality and economic innovation.
Minister Fakhro, known for his forward-thinking approach, stressed the indispensable role that businesswomen play in steering the nation’s developmental journey. “Women are not just contributors—they are trailblazers in every sphere of economic activity,” he remarked, highlighting how the proactive initiatives of the Bahrain Businesswomen Society are reshaping the business landscape. His words resonated with the vision of a Bahrain that seamlessly blends tradition with modernity and where every citizen contributes to a robust economic future.
Bahrain has long been celebrated for its progressive stance on women’s empowerment, and the Bahrain Businesswomen Society stands at the forefront of this movement. Under the adept leadership of Dr. Al Kooheji, the Society has not only provided a platform for female entrepreneurs to thrive but has also been instrumental in mentoring emerging leaders and forging partnerships that span local, regional, and international arenas. Their work reinforces Bahrain’s reputation as a dynamic hub where culture and commerce converge.
The minister also underscored the critical synergy between the public and private sectors. People view such collaborative efforts as the key to driving sustainable growth in an era of rapid technological advancements and global economic shifts. Bahrain’s strategic initiatives, including forward-looking plans like Vision 2030, are further strengthened by the inclusive participation of diverse stakeholders who are eager to innovate and lead.
Beyond the boardrooms and policy discussions, the ripple effects of these initiatives are visible in community events, high-profile forums, and international conferences, where Bahrain’s businesswomen proudly represent the Kingdom. Their presence not only inspires current leaders but also ignites the aspirations of the next generation, paving the way for a future where diversity and innovation coexist harmoniously.
This engaging meeting is far more than a ceremonial event—it is a reaffirmation of Bahrain’s dedication to unlocking the full potential of its human capital. With passionate leaders and a collective vision for progress, Bahrain’s economic landscape is poised for transformation, powered by the unyielding spirit of its businesswomen.
