Bahrain Investment Wharf (BIW), a 1.7-million-sq-m model industrial city ideally located in the heart of Salman Industrial Area, has confirmed its Strategic Sponsorship of the upcoming Gulf Industry Fair 2018. 

 

Gulf Industry Fair (GIF), the Northern Gulf’s leading event dedicated to promoting industrialisation in the GCC, will take place from February 6 to 8 at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre under the patronage of HRH Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, Prime Minister of Bahrain.

 

BIW is the brainchild of Inovest Group’s real estate arm Tameer. The industrial area was developed to contribute to the kingdom’s industrial growth by acting as a magnet to attract both local and foreign direct investment looking for facilities to enhance their global business development strategies.

 

Inovest Group CEO and BIW managing director Murad Al Ramadan noted: “Our strategic sponsorship highlights our mission to work with our stakeholders in the government and the private sector towards supporting and developing light-medium industries in the kingdom through our global standard facilities.  Our focus is on embracing a greater commitment to supporting the kingdom’s start-ups and SMEs, and better facilitation of industry-based business requirements. We aim to empower the national economy through our facilities, to be an engine for growth, diversity, and prosperity.”

 

BIW has seen a flurry of activity recently, from new appointments to on-the-ground operational developments.  Commenting on this and its participation in Gulf Industry Fair, Engineer Abdulla Alabbasi, director of technical affairs for BIW, said: “As a world-class industrial park, Bahrain Investment Wharf is pleased to be part of an event that targets industrialisation in the kingdom and wider GCC area.  In line with this focus, BIW provides pre-serviced plots for industrial, logistic, commercial, and labour accommodation use, to support manufacturing and industrial business activities in the kingdom.  It also has state-of-the-art infrastructure in place and access to key national transportation routes. Through our participation in the GIF, we aim to highlight our recent rebranding initiative, as well as our focus on stronger business-government exchanges.”  

 

Jubran Abdulrahman, managing director of HCE, the organiser of Gulf Industry Fair, said: “Bahrain Investment Wharf is a key driver for the development of the industry as part of the economy of Bahrain. Their decision to join Gulf Industry Fair as a Strategic Sponsor is an important milestone in the development of Gulf Industry Fair as a valued showcase to promote industry, business and manufacturing in Bahrain and the GCC.” 

 

BIW sits as a Strategic Sponsor of Gulf Industry Fair with power players Bapco, National Oil and Gas Authority (Noga) and Aluminium Bahrain (Alba).
