MANAMA: The Bahrain Technology Companies Society (BTECH) has partnered with WorkSmart for Events Management to organise the Bahraini National Pavilion at Gitex 2017 for the 10th consecutive year.
The technology week will be held at Dubai World Trade Centre from October 8 to 12.
BTECH president Ubaidli Al Ubaidli said 45 exhibitors from public and private sectors are expected to take part within the pavilion, with an increase of about 30 per cent compared with last year’s event.
He stressed that Bahrain’s increased participation in Gitex every year is a good indicator of the growing industry of Information Technology in Bahrain.
“Recording Bahraini presence in this international IT forum was our goal when we first took part in Gitex. After nine years, our goal has become clearer – we now aim to promote and enhance ICT industry in Bahrain, raise Bahraini companies’ share from 6pc to 10pc in the IT investments market in the Arabian Gulf, which is nearly $30 billion,” Mr Al Ubaidli said on the sidelines of the signing ceremony between BTECH and WorkSmart.
WorkSmart chief executive Ahmed Al Hujairi said the company was keen to choose a great location for the Bahraini pavilion at Gitex 2017, an open design and a permanent display screen to show promotions about Bahrain’s economic and investment advantages.
“There will also be a place to display products and services for participating Bahraini companies.
“All our efforts are aimed at helping participating Bahraini companies that are willing to invest in this global forum as well as enter into new partnerships and increase their business and profits,” he added.
