Despite some challenges, there are huge opportunities for companies in Bahrain to sell to a global market by tapping into digital transformation and ecommerce. Many companies, big and small have used Instagram to create social commerce businesses, but the next step is to create regionally known brands and internationally successful online shops.
The Digital Business: Driving Commercial Growth event will give companies in Bahrain and budding entrepreneurs an insight into how simply a business can start benefiting from the digital economy.
Christina Ioannidis, Managing Director of Aquitude said:
We’ve been exposed to some great ideas and talented people while delivering this training. There is a motivation to think bigger and tap into a fast growing market. The companies that have opened themselves up to the possibilities of digital transformation and ecommerce are looking to the future with confidence.
David Fuller, Head of Digital for Aquitude added:
Sometimes the technology piece is the easy part. Companies need to change culturally and have strong leadership to want to change. It’s an imperative – given the demographics of the region and the rise of the digitally connected consumer, the companies that invest in digital will be the ones that win.
