Bahrain has introduced a fast-track process for fintech startups looking to do business in the country.

The Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB) has introduced a new program to attract more startups to the country.

According to a press release on Oct. 29, the investment promotion agency for the Kingdom of Bahrain has introduced a fast-track setup program for startups looking to do business there.

The new initiative will provide an expedited entry process covering visa requirements, residency and business registration processes. It also offers guidance from the country’s incubators and accelerators, as well as access to grants and financial supports. 

In its statement, the EDB lauds Bahrain as a better place to do business than its neighbors and notes its accepting policy toward the cryptocurrency and open banking industries. The EDB stated:

“The Kingdom’s pioneering, agile and flexible regulatory framework allows it to regulate emerging technologies – such as open banking and cryptocurrencies – in a way other jurisdictions simply cannot. Thanks to this, Bahrain has earned a reputation as the region’s de facto test-bed for cutting edge technologies.”

Middle Eastern countries look to blockchain in pivot away from hydrocarbons

Various countries in the Middle East are competing to become the leading tech hub of the area as economic planning authorities diversify their respective national economies beyond hydrocarbons like oil and gas. 

The United Arab Emirates has been actively pursuing development in blockchain and artificial intelligence technologies. In October, the country’s Securities and Commodities Authority drafted a resolution on regulating crypto assets, which will purportedly provide more clarity for crypto-related projects in the country.

In September, the UAE’s Ministry of Health and Prevention launched a blockchain system for recording and sharing healthcare data.

Dubai introduced its Dubai Blockchain Strategy 2020, in which it sets goals to become the first “blockchain-powered” city by that year. As part of that goal, the Department of Economic Development in Dubai announced its move to a blockchain-based unified business registry platform earlier last month.

In February 2019, the Central Bank of Bahrain introduced a regulatory sandbox for blockchain firms to experiment and develop new concepts without worrying about compliance issues. That same month, Shariah-compliant cryptocurrency exchange Rain became the first digital asset exchange to complete the sandbox.
