Estedara, a pioneering startup from Bahrain, has been recognized as the ‘Top Strategic Startup’ at the 2025 Creative Business Cup (CBC) Final Competition in Denmark, marking a significant milestone in Bahrain’s innovation and entrepreneurial journey.
The achievement highlights Bahrain’s growing influence and competitiveness on the global entrepreneurial landscape, showcasing the nation’s ability to nurture groundbreaking ideas and innovative business models that resonate internationally.
It also reflects Export Bahrain’s strong commitment to empowering Bahraini entrepreneurs, providing them with the platforms, resources, and global exposure needed to scale their ventures, compete effectively on the world stage, and establish Bahrain as a leading hub for creativity, innovation, and strategic entrepreneurship.
Estedara is a leading venture specializing in innovative air-to-water technologies that convert atmospheric humidity into clean, cold, and mineralized drinking water. With the support and facilitation of Export Bahrain, Estedara was selected to represent the Kingdom at this year’s finals, impressing the international jury with scalable and sustainable solutions that optimize resources and address global water challenges.
This marks Export Bahrain’s second participation in the CBC, following last year’s success when another Bahraini startup secured second place, outperforming more than 44 international competitors in the 2024 finals.
The CBC is a prestigious global competition that brings together startups, investors, and companies from over 80 countries, providing a unique platform for networking, competition, and market expansion. Estedara leveraged this platform to foster collaboration, secure strategic deals, and gain international recognition for its innovative solutions.
Noor Benshams, CEO of Estedara and the company’s representative in Copenhagen, said Export Bahrain’s support enabled the company to engage with potential investors and partners and expand the reach of its clean water technologies. The participation was described as a pivotal step towards achieving Estedara’s goal of delivering sustainable and practical solutions internationally.
