What is Mawin Venture Park?
Mawin Venture Park is Bahrain’s first full-scale venture ecosystem — a platform that builds, funds, and scales startups across the GCC. We combine capital, strategy, and in-house execution to transform ideas into globally competitive companies.
How does the venture-building model work?
Unlike traditional incubators, Mawin doesn’t just advise founders — we co-build with them. Each selected startup receives direct investment, dedicated development teams, and access to our investor network across the GCC, USA, and Europe.
Who can apply for the Mawin Builder Program?
We welcome founders and innovators from all sectors with scalable, tech-driven ideas — especially in FinTech, HealthTech, AI, PropTech, and Sustainability. Global founders looking to build within Bahrain’s thriving ecosystem are also encouraged to apply.
What impact is Mawin creating in the GCC?
Our goal is to nurture 250 startups, create 1,500+ jobs, and establish a $1B+ ecosystem value by 2028 — positioning Bahrain as the Silicon Valley of the Middle East and driving long-term economic diversification.
What makes Mawin different from other accelerators?
We are a venture builder, not an incubator. That means our teams work side-by-side with founders — providing execution support, technology development, branding, legal setup, and strategic funding. We don’t coach; we build together.
