33 exhibitors to participate in Bahraini pavilion of GITEX 2016

Manama, Oct. 9 (BNA): A total of 33 Bahraini exhibitors will participate within the Bahraini national pavilion for GITEX 2016 exhibition which will be held in Dubai next Sunday, said Work Smart, the event-management company in cooperation with The Bahrain Technology Companies Society (BTECH). The statements aid that 29 ICT companies will participate within the Bahraini pavilion along with four government entities: Ministry of Transportation and Communications, Economic Development Board (EDB), E Government and TAMKEN. The main goal since the start of the Bahraini participation in GITEX was to record Bahraini presence in this international forum for information technology manufacturers around the world. "Today, after 10 years of active participation, our goals became clearer and bigger. We aim to strengthen the "ICT" industry in Bahrain, raising the share of Bahraini companies from 6% to 10% in the IT investments markets in the Arabian Gulf which reached around 30 billion dollars," Ahmed Al-Hujairi, CEO of Work Smart, said. "The design of the pavilion will be open and will include a permanent display hall which will provide continuous shows about Bahrain's economic and investment features. Times will be allocated to display products and services of the participating Bahraini companies," he said.
