gulfBID exhibition in its second year

The accelerating pace of building and construction in Bahrain, Qatar, the Eastern Province of Saudi Arabia and Kuwait is powering a project and infrastructure boom and gulfBID is designed to cater for the business-to-business requirements of this vital economic sector. The mega developments taking shape are also creating massive demand for these fast-track projects and the supply of the fixtures, fittings and furnishings for these interiors, essential supply components to the construction industry.

Of the total available space for gulBID almost 60 per cent is sold with a further 20 per cent reserved with more than six months to go before the expo. gulfBID will continue to provide the local and regional market with the most up-to-date and sophisticated construction materials from the world's leading suppliers and service providers.

gulfBID has widened its portfolio to include the full spectrum of quality interiors and furniture including contract furniture for hotels, offices and new facilities such as airports and hospitals.

A major marketing campaign involves the investment of more than US$1.3 million regionally and internationally to raise awareness of the increasing importance of gulfBID whilst highlighting the pivotal role being played by Bahrain as a regional gateway and trading hub.

Within one year of its launch, gulfBID 2007 is targeted to reach capacity in one of the most important business-to-business expos in the region and internationally.
