Manama, Bahrain: The Tunisian startup specializing in Ed-Tech – GOMYCODE and a Flat6Labs graduate, announces the opening of a Hackerspace in Manama - Bahrain with the aim of continuing its geographic expansion but also to strengthen its modern technological education platform.
Launched in 2017 by Yahya and Amine Bouhlel, GOMYCODE now has more than 80 talents with diverse profiles among its employees and a network of over 100 trainers across the Hackerspaces of Tunisia, Algeria, Morocco, Egypt and now Bahrain.
Through an educational platform forming the next generation of technological and digital profiles and connecting them with the companies that build the world of tomorrow, GOMYCODE aims to become one of the largest developer communities in Africa and the Middle East.
This platform gives students and teachers the best digital tools for training, content creation, skills management, technical evaluation and matching with companies. Hence, making it possible to quickly create training programs, independently on a wide range of skills, thus offering great flexibility to its students.
Based on a blended learning model, between a physical presence within GOMYCODE’s Hackerspaces and online learning, GOMYCODE is aiming to have a strong impact in terms of talent training and ease its integration to a digitized job market and economy.
Over the past 3 years, GOMYCODE’s vision was able to conduct the training of over 4,000 students who were able to acquire new skills, pioneering bright and promising professional horizons for them.
Rethinking education, the GOMYCODE’s model aims to be the school of the 21st century providing all the required training in web development, video game development, artificial intelligence, data science, design, digital marketing and business Intelligence.
Why Bahrain?
A compact and highly-connected ecosystem brings together a diverse range of IT companies in Bahrain within the areas of IT services, IT distribution, IT consultancy, data management systems, software developers and customer support centres. Ranked the first in MENA for ICT readiness by the World Economic Forum, Bahrain offers the most competitive and affordable ICT services in the region.
“Bahrain will proudly be the first home of this creative space in the Middle East region that can be used as a catalyst to shape the next generation for the future of work that requires a data-driven approach” Said Maryam Alsaegh, Bahrain’s Country Launcher at GOMYCODE.
“We are excited to see one of our regional portfolio companies scale into the Bahrain market and play a beneficial role in filling a much-needed skill gap by training local talent to become software developers. This will strengthen the growth of our kingdom's startup ecosystem and we look forward to being a continual part of GOMYCODE's journey” Said Saleh Abbas, Senior Program Manager at Flat6Labs Bahrain.

About GOMYCODE:
GOMYCODE was established in 2017 on account of our enthusiasm for the digital world, and to connect the gap that exists between what the standard training offered and what the accessible job offers on the market.
We have established a genuine network around advanced innovation and we are glad to be pioneers in this field. After opening its doors for the first time in a coworking space, GOMYCODE won the BlooMMasters program in MIT (in 2017) and opened its first hackerspace in Tunis before expanding to Sousse and Sfax.
During its initial 3 years, GOMYCODE trained more than 5,000 students and set up associations with no less than 100 partners among private and public organizations, colleges and non-administrative associations.
In 2020, GOMYCODE is thinking big and starting its first activities outside of Tunisia. Notably in Algeria, France, Morocco, Egypt and Bahrain.
