Bahrain is
gearing up to host the second edition of Gateway Gulf, which is scheduled
for November 3 and November 4, 2024, at the Four Seasons Hotel,
Bahrain Bay. Held under the timely and relevant theme of 'Investing in a
Rapidly Transforming Region,' the second edition of the forum is set to welcome
an intimate, high-level gathering of the top 250 ministerial and senior-government
officials, C-level business professionals, and executive investors from leading
markets across America, Europe, Asia, the Gulf Cooperation Council
(GCC) and beyond.
Hosted
by the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB) with the support of
senior government officials across the Kingdom's finance, investment and
industry portfolio, the invitation-only forum will serve as a platform
that encourages open dialogue, sustained economic growth, knowledge
progression, and international economic integration.
Featuring forward-looking plenary sessions and audience-tailored
workshops, as well as a highly personalised agenda complete with private
meetings, project site visits, and cultural experiences, Gateway Gulf 2024
will push the boundaries of business-as-usual, facilitating mutually
beneficial and tangible investment opportunities. Attendees can expect to
discover awakening insightful deliberations on how global trends are playing
out in the region, how best to tackle universal concerns, and untapped
opportunities that lie ahead.
In
addition to highlighting key investment opportunities across the island
nation's priority sectors, discussions at Gateway Gulf 2024 will revolve around
the growing collaborative ties unifying the region, underscoring how
co-investments can facilitate a more prosperous and sustainable future. In an
era that is increasingly witnessing the defragmentation of supply chains, the
forum will lay the groundwork for bridging a fractured world, shedding light on
the achievements of the region in delivering action-oriented solutions for a
brighter future.
Ushering
in a new spirit of partnership, Gateway Gulf will host focused roundtables on
the sidelines of the forum to ignite engaging and data-fueled discussions to
address global challenges and maintaining prosperity across prime industry
sectors. Moreover, the curated Majlis-inspired sessions will pair high-ranking
ministers with C-suite experts from the private sector on the most pressing
issues facing the region.
The
GCC countries represent one of the greatest development success stories of the
century. As the region continues to secure impressive strides towards ambitious
economic diversification targets, numerous attractive
investment opportunities emerge. With a view to revealing actionable
insights and fostering collaboration, Gateway Gulf will feature a central
exhibition space that will showcase large scale projects, where a flurry of
greenfield milestone investments is expected to be announced during the highly
anticipated forum.
The
Gulf economies are projected to grow by 3.5% in 2024 to a combined total of about USD 2.1 trillion and expected to reach USD 2.8 trillion by
2030, according to the International Monetary Fund. With the non-oil sector
contribution to GDP standing at 84% in 2023, Bahrain has earned its
position as the most diversified economy in the Gulf. To maintain its positive
trajectory of economic growth, the future-ready island nation has prioritized
investing in the development of high-value sectors, its diverse human capital,
digital transformation initiatives, and key infrastructure projects.
