The National Bank of Bahrain (NBB) has officially confirmed it would sponsor the upcoming ‘‘Invest in Bahrain 2017 Forum.” The 12th edition of the annual event, under the patronage of HRH the Prime Minister, Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, will take place on October 31. Organized by the Ministry of Industry, Commerce, and Tourism of Bahrain, the investment conference is part of the long-term government initiative to support foreign investments in the Kingdom as well as its plan for economic development Vision 2030.
The primary goal of the event is to showcase Bahrain as an attractive investment destination with unleashed potential. This year’s edition of the forum would welcome a large number of visitors, including corporate leaders, venture capitalists, business angels, businessmen from the GCC region, US, Europe, China, the Far East, and India. Moreover, as a part of the daily program, the Gulf Organization for Industrial Consulting (GOIC) would present the results of its recent study on the investment opportunities in the Kingdom in several industrial sectors. Invest in Bahrain 2017 opens doors on October 31 at the premises of the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Center.
Jean-Christophe Durand, CEO of NBB, commented that the National Bank has been supporting the forum since its first edition. In addition to that, in 2017, NBB would celebrate its 60th anniversary, so taking part in the initiative again would make it even more special.
Furthermore, the bank has been working closely with the government, large corporations, and small and medium-sized businesses on a daily base to grant them access and manage their financial resources in order to continue working and create an added value to the economy.
