Hilal Conferences and Exhibitions (HCE) will be holding the next edition of Gulf Construction Expo 2020 with the strategic partnership of Tamkeen, Bahrain’s labour fund.
The expo takes place from April 14 to 16 at the Bahrain International Exhibition and Convention Centre under the patronage of His Royal Highness Prince Khalifa bin Salman Al Khalifa, the Prime Minister of Bahrain.
Gulf Construction Expo is one of flagship events held in Bahrain to promote the construction and building materials sector, featuring products and services from more than 15 countries.
Chief executive of Tamkeen Dr Ebrahim Mohammed Janahi stressed the growing importance of the local construction industry and its role in supporting sustainable economic growth.
He further pointed out the opportunity provided by the organisation of this expo as a platform to promote the construction sector in Bahrain. Private sector enterprises working in this field or any related businesses can take advantage of the various business development and promotional opportunities made available through this show, he said.
HCE managing director Jubran Abdulrahman commented on the collaboration: “Tamkeen’s endorsement of our event is a testament of their faith in the capabilities of this industry and the value proposition of the Gulf Construction Expo as part of Bahrain’s Economic Vision 2030.”
Tamkeen has also signed an agreement with HCE confirming its strategic sponsorship of Gulf Property Show, which will be held alongside the Gulf Construction Expo.
Another strategic sponsor of Gulf Property Show is Edamah, which will be showcasing its latest marquee developments in the kingdom.
Edamah’s CEO Amin Al Arrayed commented: “We are delighted to be participating in Gulf Property Show 2020, one of Bahrain’s leading real estate events, which provides the ideal platform to network with key industry players as well as showcase Edamah’s latest projects and developments to attendees and prospective investors.”
He continued: “During the show, Edamah will be exhibiting key projects in its growing real estate portfolio, including the Sa’ada Waterfront development, Bilaj Al Jazayer and the multi-storey Salmaniya Carpark development, which comes in line with Edamah’s strategy to develop new projects and modernise existing ones in a sustainable and comprehensive manner to meet the needs of Bahrain’s citizens.”
The Sa’ada project in Muharraq is marketed as a fully accessible public waterfront development with shaded terraces and commercial outlets enhanced by convenient parking. The project is now complete with approximately 50 per cent of the commercial units leased.
Edamah is also transforming one of Bahrain’s oldest landmarks, Bilaj Al Jazayer, into a prime destination to create a wholesome public space.
Abdulrahman said: “We are honoured to have the support of Edamah as a strategic partner. They are a key driver in ensuring that Bahrain’s developments are in alignment with the 2030 vision, by developing and enhancing Bahrain’s real estate potential while contributing to elevating the facilities that improve the daily lives of citizens of the kingdom.
“This practical contribution can be seen in the new The Terminal car-park in Adliya as well as the Salmaniya Car-park Development which is launching this year. This welcome project will relieve the congestion around the medical complex by providing 600 parking slots for both staff and visitors.”
The Gulf Property Show carries the strategic organisational support of the Real Estate Regulatory Authority of Bahrain (RERA), Survey and Land Regulatory Bureau (SLRB), Urban Planning and Development Authority of Bahrain, Tamkeen, Bahrain Property Developers Association (BaPDA) and the Ministry of Industry, Commerce and Tourism.
