Al Zayani ... to present iTech Awards at the forum.

Gulf Industry Fair to host innovative forum

MANAMA, February 6, 2016

Gulf Industry Fair, the Northern Gulf region's biggest showcase for the industrial sector, will host the inaugural 'Innovation for Industry Forum' on February 10 in Bahrain.

The forum will add an important dimension to a show format that is already renowned as a valuable showcase for Northern Gulf industries - from world-scale manufacturing plants to specialist equipment suppliers, distributors and agencies representing the key segments of aluminium, energy and environmental protection, steel and alloys, industrial processes and manufacturing, ports, industrial facilities and logistics, training for industry; and industrial security and safety.

The region’s premier industry fair will take place at Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre from February 9 to 11 under the patronage of HRH Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister of Bahrain, said the event organiser Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions (HCE).

The invitation-only forum is being held under the patronage of Zayed Al Zayani, the Minister of Industry, Commerce and Tourism, on the second day of the show.

It will see experts sharing their professional knowledge on topics such as incubating innovations in industry, cyber security and the eco-industrial development.

The Ministry of Industry and Commerce considers events such as Gulf Industry Fair to be important platforms to showcase the achievements of the private sector and build their business strategy for the present and the future.

The Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism regards high innovation performance as a contributor to economic growth and job creation, said the event organiser.

Alzayani will also be presenting the iTech Awards which recognise innovation and best practices within the information and communications technology (ICT) sector as it serves businesses.  

The instruments for growth and renewal are vital in this period of difficult economic and societal challenges.  

The Innovation Forum will highlight two global products "made in Bahrain". Taha International will promote the innovative use of scrap aluminium (dross) for fertiliser that is used in the farms of New Zealand, said the statement from HCE.

Ahmed Hussain of IPIFI will preview a unique IP identification and security system, developed by his company and implemented at leading financial institutions and industrial companies in the GCC and globally.

On the inaugural forum, Jubran Abdulrahman, the managing director of HCE, said: "The forum is committed to starting a discussion by the industrial leaders of the region about innovative approaches to increase to the added value products of business and companies."

Gulf Industry Fair is supported by some of Bahrain’s most high profile industrial organisations, including the National Oil & Gas Authority (Noga) in association with Bahrain Petroleum Company (Bapco), and Aluminium Bahrain (Alba), who will, respectively, sponsor the energy and aluminium sectors.-TradeArabia News Service
