When it comes to education and entrepreneurship, Dr Abdulhasan Al-Dairi is a force to be reckoned with. His many hats include Manager at Bahrain Polytechnic and Chairman of the SMEs Society, and he’s worked with dozens of organisations to support Bahraini youth and entrepreneurs. “I want to give back,” he says.“It’s a way of saying thank you to God and to my country because I believe that I have been blessed throughout my life.”
