Export Bahrain x Ninja: A New Digital Gateway for Bahraini-Based Businesses in the GCC

07 May 2025

Export Bahrain has announced a strategic partnership with Ninja, the leading grocery delivery app operating across key GCC markets. The collaboration aims to boost the regional visibility of Bahrain-based businesses by facilitating their entry into digital commerce platforms and unlocking new cross-border opportunities.

This partnership is in line with Export Bahrain’s vision to encourage exports and recognize Bahrain-based brands in markets across the GCC region and further across the world. Expanding on Export Bahrain’s growing list of collaborations with international platforms under its E-Commerce Facilitation Initiative, this agreement is designed to enable businesses to access and list their products and services on prominent digital retail platforms while benefiting from transaction-based support.

The agreement builds on Ninja’s expanding footprint and reflects its commitment to supporting regional brands through a seamless online retail experience. With dedicated operations in Saudi Arabia, Bahrain, and Qatar, Ninja aims to enhance consumer access to a wide variety of high-quality products while offering Bahrain-based businesses a gateway to new customer segments across the GCC.

Through this collaboration, Bahrain-based businesses will gain greater visibility on Ninja’s platform, allowing them to directly reach customers in high-demand markets and scale their export potential with minimal barriers. This initiative complements Export Bahrain’s continued efforts to provide innovative market-entry solutions for local businesses and support their long-term growth.

A notable case study that highlights the impact of this partnership is Sofia Rose, a Bahrain-based manufacturer listed on the Ninja platform, which successfully expanded its reach into the Saudi market. This example underscores the tangible benefits of the collaboration and reflects the promising potential of such partnerships in driving the sustainable growth of Bahrain-based businesses.

This collaboration underscores Export Bahrain’s commitment to continuing the advancement of digital transformation in trade by enabling Bahraini-based businesses to leverage digital solutions to access new markets, thereby enhancing the competitiveness of national products at both regional and global levels.
