Expanding into the Middle East Market: Business Experiences and Market Entry Insights

We are currently living at a time when the global environment - particularly within the Gulf and greater Middle East region - is experiencing an unusual period of uncertainty. It is precisely in times such as these that a country’s economic resilience, government agility, and commitment to maintaining openness with the world is truly tested and revelated.

CCIG, in collaboration with the Bahrain Economic Development Board (Bahrain EDB), will host a Market Focus: Bahrain Session, bringing together a senior delegation from Bahrain EDB to introduce the Kingdom of Bahrain, which has positioned itself as a strategic gateway for investment in the Middle East. Serving as the Kingdom’s investment promotion agency, Bahrain EDB supports the investor journey from end-to-end, offering comprehensive services from research-led market insights and industry assessments, facilitating market entry, and providing tailored aftercare services long after businesses first set up in Bahrain.

Hear directly from distinguished speakers, including H.E. Noor bint Ali Alkhulaif, Minister of Sustainable Development, Chief Executive of the Bahrain Economic Development Board, alongside other senior executives.

 

Topics of discussion will include:

  • Insights into the regional conflict and its implications for business and investment 
  • The regional opportunity for investors looking to expand their operations 
  • Bahrain’s competitive advantages, and why it is the ideal base for operations  
  • Regulatory and operational considerations for international companies 
  • How the Bahrain EDB supports investors across their expansion journey
