About this event

The MENA Angel Investors Summit is convened every year in Bahrain by Tenmou, the Bahrain Business Angels Holding Company. It brings angel investors, selected startup founders and the wider investment community into one room for a day of startup pitching, investor dialogue and expert contributions on early-stage investing in the region. Tenmou describes it as the largest tech and startup event in Bahrain, and participation is free.

Ways to take part

Attendance and pitching are separate routes. Investors and general attendees register to attend; startups apply to a selection process for a pitching slot, and an application does not guarantee a place on stage.

Investors: meet early-stage ventures and exchange regional market insight
Startup founders: apply to pitch (applications close 25 October 2026)
Attendees: join the wider conversation on founders, capital and regional opportunity

Programme

The summit is built around four connected formats. Session times and speakers will be announced as the programme is confirmed.

Selected startup pitching to the investment community
Investor dialogue on early-stage investment and building across the region
Expert contributions from institutions, corporations and specialists
Structured and informal networking for follow-up

Track record

The 2025 edition, the summit's tenth, drew 615 registrations from 20 countries, with more than 250 attendees on site, over 100 startup applications and more than 50 investors in attendance.
