A collection of three leading exhibitions related to the construction, interiors and property sectors opens tomorrow in Bahrain under the patronage of HRH Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister.

 

The Gulf Construction, Gulf Property Show and Interiors Expo will run concurrently till April 25 at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre.

 

The trio of exhibitions, eagerly awaited by the market, continues to provide the largest integrated business-to-business (B2B) and business-to-consumer (B2C) showcase for the construction, interiors and property sectors in the Northern Gulf.

 

The shows are being organised by Bahrain-based Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions (HCE), a leading events organiser in the kingdom.

 

HCE managing director Jubran Abdulrahman says: “Amidst the challenging economic climate the marquee exhibitions for the Northern Gulf’s booming construction and building sectors remain popular.” 

 

The three expos have attracted strong exhibitor presence from Saudi Arabia, the UAE and Kuwait this year. These are joined by companies from Jordan, Turkey, China and Europe.

 

“The overall prospects for the Kingdom of Bahrain and the region remain strong with billions of dollars-worth of exciting projects currently ongoing.  From civil infrastructure to the development of new residential, hospitality and commercial districts, the signs remain positive,” adds Abdulrahman. 

 

Bahrain’s building, construction and related sectors are experiencing positive market indications with the increased investment in infrastructure, the airport expansion, new industrial project and the increasing number of real estate projects currently under construction.

 

“This year we have a record number of companies sponsoring the event. In addition, the strong workshop programme and the ‘On the Wall2’ art exhibition provide a wider variety of events within the traditional expo format,” comments Ahmed Suleiman, exhibitions director. 

 

The organisers will continue their innovative approach to Bahrain’s meetings and events industry. “For the first time in Bahrain, we will be live streaming the expo opening, the workshops and interviews of exhibitors and visitors across our social media platforms,” concludes Abdulrahman.

 

Gulf Construction Expo is celebrating the 13th anniversary of the premier show for construction and building materials sector. The show has also partnered closely with the region’s leading construction magazine Gulf Construction; the Gulf Property Show is the boutique showcase for the real estate and property development sectors in the Northern Gulf region; and the Interiors Expo is a platform for the burgeoning GCC’s home-grown interior brands. - TradeArabia News Service
