NBB Innovation Programme

Run by Bahrain FinTech Bay.

Bahrain FinTech Bay runs the NBB Innovation Programme in Manama as three weeks of in-person training, followed by a three-month incubation for the winning team at Bahrain FinTech Bay. It targets fintech and AI. A $10,000 prize goes to the first-place team rather than to every participant, so no per-startup cheque is published, and no equity percentage is mentioned.
