The BBBF’s first business networking event of 2017 was held on January 24 and discussed the opportunities that are being created in Bahrain around areas such as infrastructure investment, regulatory developments, and innovation and start-ups.
The event’s keynote speaker was Dr Simon Galpin, managing director of the Bahrain Economic Development Board (EDB). The meeting was chaired by the BBBF chairman Khalid Al Zayani, OBE, who welcomed Dr Galpin, and almost 200 BBBF members and guests to the meeting at the Gulf Hotel.
Dr Galpin said: “There are a range of opportunities being created by Bahrain’s ongoing infrastructure investment programme, through the continued regulatory developments, and from structured efforts aimed at encouraging innovative start-up activity and technological development. The private sector will be the driving factor for growth in the future, and we look forward to working with new and existing investors to highlight some of the existing opportunities.”
