The Labour Fund (Tamkeen) announced its support for ARRAY, a leading provider of Artificial Intelligence (AI), enterprise software engineering and cloud solutions, a portfolio company of Bahrain Mumtalakat Holding Company (Mumtalakat), the sovereign wealth fund of Bahrain. Tamkeen will support the company through its various support programmes, including employment support, training support and enterprise support.
Labour Fund (Tamkeen) Chief Executive, Maha Abdulhameed Mofeez, states: “ARRAY will provide around 120 jobs for local talent within the Information and Communications Technology sector, along with ongoing training programmes to hone their skills in this field. This support is in line with the objectives of the National Labour Market Plan (2023–2026).”
This support aligns with Tamkeen’s 2024 strategic priorities under three pillars: increasing economic participation through employment opportunities for new market entrants, expanding career development opportunities available to the Bahraini workforce, and further developing the private sector by supporting enterprises to drive impact and sustainable development in the economy.
ARRAY Innovation CEO, Alaa Saeed, adds: “ARRAY is committed to building cutting-edge digital solutions for our clients from Bahrain, and in doing so providing 1,000 highly skilled jobs for Bahrainis over the coming years. We are very grateful to Tamkeen for initially supporting our first batch of 120 Bahraini hires going forward. We are very encouraged by the demand for our software engineering and artificial intelligence capabilities and are growing quickly.”
