Bahrain is hosting next week’s annual Gulf Industry Fair, a business-to-business show with the goal of demonstrating just how much potential and growth can be found in the Middle East.
The three-day exhibition, which begins Tuesday at the Convention Centre of Manama, boasts coverage of sectors that include energy and environmental protection, industrial safety and security and industry training.
Prominent Saudi companies will be making a strong presence at the Gulf Industry Fair. Participants will include Abdulkarim, Alaa for Industry, Ashcroft Al Rushaid Instrument Co. Ltd, Dresser Al Rushaid Valve and Instruments Company, Tiseng Group, Sandwich Panel Factory and Saudi Gulf Hydraulics.
Alaa for Industry CEO Stuart Hind said he sees the event as a marketing opportunity for his company.
“As one of Saudi’s largest suppliers of industrial equipment and services, we believe that Gulf Industry Fair provides an excellent event for businesses to have a direct marketing point to targeted B2B audience,” Hind said.
