C5 Accelerate hosts Bahrain Bourse as part of their Policy Hack Series
C5 Accelerate, in partnership with Tamkeen, hosted Sheikh Khalifa
bin Ebrahim AlKhalifa, Chief Executive Officer of Bahrain Bourse
for the fifth edition of C5’s POLICY HACK series. The event,
which took place on Tuesday, March 26 at the Cloud10 campus in
Sanabis, discussed how the Fourth Industrial Revolution combined
with effective regulation and supervision, can expand the scope,
scale, and reach of financial services and startups in particular.
Sheikh Khalifa addressed Bahrain Bourse’s role in enabling high
growth businesses, regulations related to listing such companies
on the stock exchange, and how that relates to strengthening the
entrepreneurial landscape and contributing to economic growth.
Sheikh Khalifa also touched on the investor-centric services that
Bahrain Bourse is currently offering or planning to roll-out,
especially through the launch of myShare Card, along with BHB’s
collaboration with various retail banks to offer the Bahrain Trade
Platform to their respective clients.
The event ended with an open Q&A session with the startup
community and networking opportunities.
This event was planned ahead of the Global Entrepreneurship
Congress (GEC) spearheaded by Tamkeen from 15th to 18th April
2019. GEC is a global gathering of entrepreneurs, policymakers,
startups and investors with the aim to gain insights into new policy
ideas, provide startups with the knowledge on how to scale new
ventures and to provide valuable networking opportunities.
