In an effort to connect students with local businesses and prepare them for entering the labour market, Intelaaq, Tamkeen’s student business consultancy programme, organised a workshop entitled “Innovation” in partnership with the Bahrain Development Bank.
The workshop welcomed Intelaaq current students and alumni who consisted of a selection of Bahrain’s Business, Media, Graphic Design, and Communication recent Bahraini graduates and undergraduates, from different local and international universities.
The main purpose of the workshop is to help students to become innovative in the application of information, imagination and initiative in deriving greater or different values from resources, including all processes by which new ideas are generated and converted into useful products.
The audience engaged with business experts, where the session began with basic discussions of business aspects, and was further expanded by going into more details regarding the implementation of creative solutions and ideas whilst also showcasing examples of innovative business ideas.
